Mud flaps/gaurds for a E92 M3...?

Does BMW or anyone else do any sort of mus flap/gaurd for the E92 M3 anywhere in the world...?

Or something to protect the front of the side skirt area...?

I've tried the 3M clear film, and I'm not a fan... So I need some sort of other idea..

Many Thanks

I guess the answer is "no". My side side sills and the front lip of the rear bumper are a disaster with only 7k miles...

I have no issues with this *knock on wood.

This is the only reason I have not gotten wheel spacers yet.. While they look great I just know I'm going to be even more prone to issues like this....

Look at the bottom of your doors, and better yet the bottom of the side sills.

Then again I have ZCP, I imagine the wheels stick out more than normal, but I doubt it will get better by losing 1/4" offset.

I pretty much go over the whole car every time I wash it. No chips except for the hood and bumper being peppered.

My doors and side sills are pretty much peppered with chips, its like looking at salt and pepper since my car is black Wish BMW would have done a better job protecting our paint jobs, they should have put some kind of clear shield on here from the factory. I had a subaru before and due to the chips their cars were generating they offered to repaint then put clear shield on where most chips occurred from tires kicking things up. They also added this clear shield on all future models straight from the factory. BMW should step up with things like this and offer free repairs. I understand some chips will happen, but this is just unacceptable!
