Nah mate, didnt get a LV "look" bag with it ! 
Prices of Cars and Spares - which are imported as is or as a CKD unit (Complete Knock Down kits of cars) are levied very high Custom Duty.
the OnRoad price for my E60 520d '08 August, i paid around US$100,000/- !!!!! the Spare parts are also damn expensive here! eBay works perfect for me, most of the time, no duty is levied when i buy and get it couriered to my address, but at times, if something electronic, then yes, a duty is levied - around 30-40%! still cheaper! coz in the workshop, the spares are around 100-150% more than what it costs in the US.

Sound Like Got A Bargain!!
Always Pays To Look on Ebay.
I Notice that someone is else selling New Genuine BMW Mudflaps for BMW E60/E61 on Ebay for ?7.00 plus ?10.00 post and Packaging.
Glad I Didnt Have to pay the price you did...

That's typically what they're called here as well, but other regions of the country (Northern & Western) like to be frou-frou and call them "splash guards."
