You don't like fancy mud flaps? Hahaha

I don't know brotha they came with the car. I've never not had them on. Should i take them off?

Anyone have a good pic of what it'll look like off?

I'm very concerned however. When I wash the car, they are marred to hell looking like Frankie Coffeecake from Bronx Tale. Don't they stop stuff from getting to the ride?

Yes, typically when used in this application it's a rock deflector more so then mud flap.

I don't know man, I can't imagine many on here have them on, so finding a pic without them should be easy.

Yeah, they do keep the fenders from looking like the surface of the Moon. I wouldn't mess with them if you're used to them. Just kinda odd seeing them on the M...and only in the front. Maybe it would look more proportionate if you had the rears as well?

Nice looking ride

And funny side conversation about mud flaps. I was actually thinking of getting them for my M. Way to much splatter just going down the road. I like how they look!

I just drove to Malibu to look at some raw land and it was wet and muddy. We just had some good rain so the dirt roads were a mess.

For one, I'm very impressed at how the M handled. A little bit of wiggle because the tires are not rated but all in all it was very impressive on muddy inclines. The mud flaps were caked with mud. To think all that would have been on the ride..

Very nice. Compliments the E70M nicely. Are you gonna keep them when you trade up to the F85?

I hope so.. but then again, it's always nice to go new car, new wheels.

With that said, I'm no way ready to step up. I cannot afford $75K++ for an X5M! These things are holding their value like crazy.

Amen. I was hoping they would depreciate like the F10 M5s (or the current X5 Ms, for that matter) but no cheese...2015 F10 M5 CP ~$55K, 2015 F85 X5 M ~$75K...

However, this is the year the 2015's start coming back from leases so I'm hoping that will lower the prices significantly when the dealers/market gets flooded.

I hope so too..

Any significant changes between the 15-16-17 model years?

Nothing major, I don't think. Definitely nothing that would make me want to get a 16 over a 15. Unless they dialed out the brake squeal and wheel hub clicking?

I believe they offered the same packages (i.e., comfort package, executive package) and standalone options (i.e., ceramic buttons, night vision camera, 21's, B&O) across the range.
