Comments before I add mudflaps...
#11
I have no mud flaps BUT I have a lot of stone chips on the lower area in front of the rear wheels! This came after a 1500 km winter trip to northern Sweden.
It looks really bad.

No need for a formal poll. Majority response to this is get the flaps.
I find it odd that none of the other pictures I saw over the last few months showed a single car with flaps. I thought there was something wrong with them.
It looks like the responders here do wish to keep their cars clean as I do.
I suppose the term I need is mudflaps and not splash guards, but then the terms might differ from continent to continent?

But I feel that mudflaps make the E60 less sporty.

You will be working with plastic pop rivetrs and a drill. Including the jacking and wheel removal, I would count on at least three or four hours. If you like driving more than DIY, I'd get a quote from a dealer wannabe.

I think they look fine especially on a Jet Black...barely noticible. I think I'm going to ask the dealer to throw them on before pick up...maybe I'll get a freebee
