Getting desperate....

Iggmann88 · 10-19-2017, 03:42 AM

I have spent weeks scouring the internet trying to find somewhere that might have 1 set of mud guards for the e89, no luck. Why in the world would they discontinue making them?!

I know, I know ruins the look, its a roadster, ect, ect... The roads around my area are asphalt to which are constantly being repaired, and despite my best efforts to avoid fresh spots, I always get the dreaded spray along the side of the car from the tires. And being yellow, it shows the worst out of my garage..

Anybody have a set laying around? I'll gladly pay.

Because only a small percentage of buyers would want the mud guards in the first place and the Z4 sold so poorly (less than 1,200 in all of 2016) that a production run of even a dozen of them would probably just take up shelf space for years... You might be stuck with having to fabricate or modify ones to fit.

Another option is to put paint protection film over the rocker panels.

Or spray truck bed liner behind the rear wheels

Tried those, of course after waiting days and tying up my account, they are a no go, they really need to update their website to reflect that.

Surely there has got to be one warehouse somewhere that has a set... *sigh* lol

Thanks though, I really do appreciate it.

To think there is a set lying around somewhere.

I bought rears here in the UK, but could never find fronts. So the rears stayed for one winter season and now they are off.

Try this.

It's in the UK but you may get them there.
