E34 Mudflaps!?!

[Level8Drummer]

I just saw an E34 (wide grill 530i) with BMW mudflaps on it. They were small, hard plastic, and unobtrusive, black, and the rear ones had BMW etched on the back.

I never knew that these were available! I spend hours every month removing tar from right behind my wheelwells underneath the black trim on my bright red E34. I really need some mudflaps!

What's the part number? Where can I get them?


Thanks!

If you are refering to the ones in the diagram below...you can order them from a BMW dealer's Parts Dept. If the counter folks aren't that bright or familiar with the BMW ETK parts CD...they will need to look at the Euro side of the disk to find the part numbers. I don't know why they don't show up when USA is chosen. If they still don't get it...leave and order them from one of the BMW dealerships that advertise nationally like: PacificBMW.com; CircleBMW.com; CrevierBMW.com; or BMWStore.com.

The front set of flaps (#1): 72 60 8 102 996
The rear set of flaps (#2): 72 60 8 102 199

cant read russian but the custom curved flap deal where it hugs the fender looks nice. What was the cost on those? Might be worth it for me this season if it stops the mud from spraying all over my car.

Here in Virginia - we never add mudflaps with out a Rifle Rack. Its just not kosher. - JT

77 for fronts and 77 for rears... way too much

The curvy one shown on the website above I think is actually for 3 series.

Otherwise you can buy from a UK website. GBP18.50. Not sure in USD.

I bought a set there. On mine (E34 of course) rear left is from the set I bought, rear right is still the BMW original. Cannot tell the difference between them though the mounting is slightly different.

guys, I've got these mud flaps on my 535i. Excellent item. Also on my 750. I put them on when both cars were new and they sure keep the tar and crap off the car. Yes, they are quite unobtrusive and blend inn with the styling of the car as well. I'll take a shot of the 750 with the flaps on it, as the 535 is stripped apart in my garage right in the middle of my very meticulous repaint process. I just can't remember how to post a pic on here...

Ya'll buy those at JC Whitney, the favorite models are the ones with the Yosemite Sam saying "back off". If you leave in the eastern part of the state you have 'em with the little naked chick.

Click this link to the online database to see the part number index and (wholesale) prices for the mud flaps. If you are a good at negotiations...you might be able to get your local BMW dealer's Part Dept to lower the price closer to the wholesale price...also, the BMW dealers I listed in the previous post tend to be more price competitve and may give you a lower price as well.Click this link to go directly to the online parts database for the mud flaps...(also take note that the front mudflaps only work up to 5/94 mfg date) (http://rust.mine.nu/bmw/showparts.do?model=HE21&mospid=45144&prod=19940300&btnr=82_0225&hg=82&fg=44)

we should get a mudflap group buy going :D

[tim]

I'm in. Seriously. But $100 for the car is a bit much. Perhaps is we could get them down to about $75 all in?

[632 Regal]

call them with the group buy and see what we can bring the cost down to.

idea?

[tim]

Bavauto has the rears for $49.5

[Level8Drummer]

I just talked to the guys at BMA auto parts, and they said that we could do a group buy with them. They can get the flaps for around $50 a pair (so 100 for the front and back together). And if we did a group buy, then they could work out a little better deal than that.

Any ideas?

Bavarian Auto (bavauto.com) has them for a decent price. I have them on the 525i and I like em. Also, since when has any German auto part been considered kosher?
