So winter has already hit Michigan. We got a good 6 inches of snow last night. Today was a real test of this cars ability to drive in semi deep snow. I decided to wait on snow tires to see how it performed. So far, the all season 18" pirelli tires are doing pretty good. I do get a bit of slide at times but takeoff is awesome with Xdrive.

Has anyone installed mud flaps on theirs? I see there is a set you can buy but I really don't want to put black ones on a white car. Really wish they made them in the same paint color. Just looking for feedback on if I should get them.

As soon as the cold hit my window washer fluid low light came on. I added a whole gallon to the system and it still shows low. Need to take that into the dealer. I didn't put the rain-x kind in (orange) so that isn't the problem.

I have the standard black BMW mudflaps on mine. They do seem to make a difference to the amount of crud thrown down the sides of the car. I don't really notice them but I guess they would stand out more on a white car?

Are those BMW accessories? I want them. I think they look good. Wonder if I can get them included in the lease.

Yep, genuine BMW accessories. I got them from my dealer here in the UK.

I think they might be available in Europe but I haven't been able to find them on the US website. If you search under accessories they don't show. I'm going to ask my dealer about them.

The same goes for the towbar. It shows in Europe but not for the US.

Did the dealer install them or did you install them yourself. I'm looking for the install pdf. Let me know if you have it. Thanks

Were you able to get them from the dealer? I asked them to put the flaps on my car before delivery and they say they don't show up in the US accessory catalog and can't be ordered.

ECS can get them and I've seen them on eBay, so I'll just get them myself I guess.

Nonsense. I bought them from Circle BMW in Eatontown, NJ this summer. The BMW accessory listing says they don't fit M Sport but they fit perfectly.

[Mike_L]

That explains it. If BMW says they don't fit the M-Sport, they aren't gonna show up for the dealer for my VIN, which has M-Sport.

But do you have a GT? Your sig says you have a normal F30.

I have a 2013 328i M Sport.

I used the part numbers above and the dealer was able to look them up. He gave me a quote on them. I ended up ordering them from getbmwparts.com instead. I'm waiting to hear back from them on install instructions.

I believe this only for the F30 and F31. The F34 is slightly different and has some different hardware for it. I'll use these as a reference point to get started with the project. Thanks

The install instructions are EBA 2351225. If anyone has access to these, let me know. Thanks

[DanITman]

getbmwparts.com just sent over the instructions. I've confirmed that they are different than the standard F30 instructions. Enjoy!
