I hear you. My only reason for considering them was that they worked on my other BMW Tourings, and in the terrible winter driving conditions that I have to deal with, they needed to.
That said, I have never had a BMW with the M-Sport body before the E61. Now, I don't want to ruin the lines... so I won't!

Do you notice if you have a cleaner car in the back? Mine becomes completly caked with dirt and grime when diving in bad conditions...

My Ride: 2008 LCI E61 5-Series Touring M-Sport
Westfield SpeedSport (Race car). 250bhp, weighs 500kg. 500bhp/ton. 0-60mph 3.2secs.
A week after getting the car we got the dealer to fit rear mud flaps.
For some reason, the UK E61 LCI Accessories brochure says they can't be fitted to M-Sport models, but the USA brochure has a separate part number for SE & M-Sport models. I gave the UK dealer the part-number that BMW USA lists for the E61 LCI M-Sport and they got them fine and fitted them fine.
IMHO, it will look out of place on a light coloured car, but is fine on a dark colour car. They have definately helped reduce the muck being thrown up at the rear, but it's still worse than the Audi it replaced......

Model Year: 2007
Engine: N54
You may be able to find them if you go to the dealer and ask them to search USA-wide on the numbers. I recently bought 2 sets F/R for my 2 E61 LCI. They came from 4 different Dealers. NH/CHI/Wisconsin;Michagan. I had to make several calls for Parts reps to actually locate the parts physically in order to buy them. There are like 3 sets left US as far as I can tell. Good Luck! J
