Mud flaps/guards?

Anyone get mud flaps/guards for their x1's? Can't seem to find anything online except these:

Don't know if I want to spend $200+ on carbon fiber slivers...

Bumping this. BMW dealer states no mudflaps have been made yet for the vehicle. Have yet to find anything online. Was hoping they would help with the rock chips and the break dust/iron deposits with those specks that look like rust specks (I know it's not rust and iron oxidation and it's a pain to keep cleaning them off).

Also think the X1 would look nicer with the mud guards. Anyone?

I think mud flaps are necessary. Just hours after I took delivery last week, I drove in heavy rain and the bottom of the front doors and the rear bumper(M Sport style) were very dirty and covered with dirt.

There are plenty of mud flaps made for the previous generation of X1, so I imagine that it's only a matter of time that someone makes them for the U11 X1.

Sceptical at first but can just get a refund if not right so ordered them. Came from other side of the world in 10 days.
They are unbelievable, tough mat black pvc, fit pefectly including screw holes, includes all screws and PVC proper pop rivets and even a special screwdriver to save having to take the wheels off. Not sure if they fit "M-sport". Used S/S screws from ebay in place of the few in the pack...WELL PLEASED. just need a back bumper protector cover now.
Thanks MAPMAN48 for the tip! The site now shows two styles: X Line or M-Sport to pick from. Pics of yours installed?

The mudflaps came with similar rivets but they are not pop-rivets they are reusable expanding ones with a PVC screw - like wall plugs and superb replacement. I held the front ones in place on the wheel arch with clips provided just for the photo will do the job properly when I have time. I suggest you get some pan-head S/S screws off ebay (cheap as muck) as car manafcturers don't seem to know the last place to use mild-steel screws is on car wheel arches.
On my F48 X1 the S/S screws were still shiny after 4 years of UK muddy salty winter roads. BMW dealer says it is unlikely they will make mud flaps for the U11 as they were a poor seller (i.e. rip-off, and not shiny or attractive), no wonder at £150 per set + fitting if you were stupid enough.
Hey MAPMAN48 I'm thinking about purchasing these mudflaps. do you mind linking the screws/pop rivet gun you used?

also, how are they holding up?
