That's probably what "fully loaded" means for him/her...

The fact that they even make them for that car is beyond me...

Bro...they charge $223 for just the mudflaps front and back on the BMW website. I'd like to see the labor charges just to put them on...

Why do you think I was shaking my head when I was driving by...besides the rationale for a 650i needing mudflaps in Florida it just really breaks up the look of the car...

A mud flap is for an 18 wheeler or a work truck (at the very least)...

It would be cheaper to just get a clear bra film on the bottom of the fender...I did that and it cost me less than a $120. Whenever I go to the track there is always "kick up" rubber residue on my rear bumper...this way the paint is protected and its easier to wipe off...plus I avoid the unsightly mud flap.
