In my experience with other cars it definitely does reduce...

Does the mud flaps affect the undercarriage clearance?

Good to know, thanks! I wish BMW would make an OEM version.

Not really they do not have any impact on GC

I have OEM ones on my X3 (G01). There is a difference between M-Sport and X-Line. I imagine it'd be the same issue with the X5.

Look like Amazon has them, I ordered mine and they are shipping from China...

I asked the vendor if they fit.. they confirmed it would fit msport..

Good luck

Let us know how they work out. I hate cleaning the areas behind the wheels and the mud flaps solved that on every car I've had.

I have similar (probably the same) installed on G05 M Sport; I bought mine from an Aliexpress vendor, very likely all of these are the same factory source. They do fit and yes, they do require installing (drilling or just self tapping into plastic) 2 additional screws each in addition to using 2 stock bolts each. The end result is a good fit and they look fine, as good as a stock would look if it existed. The two extra screws each help to flex them into shape to align with the curve of the fenders. It is much much easier to install with the corresponding wheel off, so I did mine at last spring's winter to summer wheels changeover.

In terms of whether they make a difference, I was hoping for night and day, but it's not quite that good. For example, the hatch still gets pretty dirty when it's winter wet outside, but I guess it is less than before. And I guess the fronts protect the sides from road stones a bit, but that is impossible to judge in real time.

I'll try. The hold up will be cleaning the car up to be picture-presentable :-).

Hey any chance you have photos standing further back and also a back view. Trying to understand how they look and how functional they are. Looks like we use the vehicle for similar use based on how dirty yours is. Any comment as to how effective they have been. Gravel roads etc

I have had mud flaps on every single car that I have owned over the last 25 years and they work very effectively.

That's how the OEM ones for my old X3 were installed. You had two additional screws that you had to drill into the plastic in addition to using the existing plastic bolts. I'm far from handy and I was able to do it myself. You do need a jack though.

Well, on my X7 with 21 inch tires, those huge tires fling shit everywhere! Well above the rocker panels. Mud flaps would prevent a great deal of that splatter mess. PPF will do nothing to prevent slinging all that crap up along the fender and doors. This is what I deal with in just a day or two after washing the X7 in the Pacific Northwest. The slightest amount of water on the road causes this unsightly dirt and mud . Mud flaps would help tremendously in minimizing the mess.

Have ordered mud flaps for my upcoming G07. As others say, prevent some of the junk slinging back and up. Will see how they turn out.
