Not sure if there still available from BMW but post up in the wanted section and someone may have one knocking about!

Welcome BTW.

James,
Put up a wanted ad on this forum if you really want some. Many would recommend chucking the mudflaps as they tend to trap mud and water, causing rust. They are sort of OK when the cars are newish but now they are so prone to rust that it is worth not having them so that you can easily and thoroughly clean out the arches to prevent rust.

Cheers
Toby

Remove the ones you still have and forget the mudflap idea altogether, as said they cause rusting if on the car for a while. But if you do like the look i would recommend removing them and clean the areas thoroughly repairing where necessary winkeye and refitting with stainless fixings.
