If I can find them for the 550e I will. I put them on everything, even had them on our C6 Corvette. This is our highway cruiser, where you never know what kind of road you might have to drive on.

I'm considering mud flaps/splash guards, or whatever you want to call them, as well. I can't seem to find an OEM for the G60 though. I see lots of them available aftermarket, and the prices have wild fluctuations, and the pictures all appear to be the same. lol.

Same. One of the online retailers who sells OEM parts confirmed for me that there is no OEM (yet?) for the G60. If BMW won't bring them out soon, I'd love to learn of a quality aftermarket option with confirmed fit.

yeah the C6 soils itself without the mudguards, but they were tiny on that car. Not sure what it’d look like on the G60.

I can’t seem to find them. Do you have a link?

Also, on a number of the aftermarket ones they specifically state they aren’t for cars with the MSport package. I wonder what’s so different about that area between the two? The only thing I can think of is the rocker panel texture.

Just got to Amazon and type BMW G60. That's how they and other accessories popped up.

Searching Amazon for “BMW g60 mud guards” shows many options.
Filtering that for those that fit the 550e eliminates all of them.

But, they might work well on the i-models.

No joy, for me. Other than some questionable no name brands. Might call the dealer parts guy.

Ah. Sorry. I didn't look too closely as that's not something I am really interested in.

Just an FYI, I called the parts department at my BMW dealer today, and BMW does not offer them for the G60, to date. Only option is sourcing via an aftermarket vendor.

Yeah, I figured if BMW offered them they would be in some kind of package like the cold weather etc.. I do believe they add drag, noise, and can reduce efficiency unless they are part of the design.

Just added these to my wheels. They last photo is the OEM ones it came with. I got them on Amazon Spain. It changes the look from the factory grey plastic caps. Too bad it's been raining and my car is dirty. Lol.

I’m impressed you can pull the front bumper over the parking spot stop. I and my wife have been using the parking camera to help us and then admittedly I’m that guy who gets out and checks and then proceeds accordingly. No doubt it will get scrapped at some point but trying to minimize it until then.

They are really low. I look at the camera too and keep expecting a scrape. But it doesn't happen. Other ones I know are too high.
