I would be willing to pay a premium for a set of factory mud flaps to fit the Ti with m-sport side moldings.
If anyone happens to have a set, or know someone who has a set stashed away somewhere (long unavailable through BMW parts sources) please let me know!
cheers,

Check this out. http://www.unofficialbmw.com/e36/ext...s_install.html It's crazy how the 318ti rear mud flaps like the ones shown in the link above are only $5 for the pair everywhere! I think they look great. Nicely molded to the bumper profile and everything  BavAuto.com, getBMWparts.com, even my local dealer has them for about $5 online. That's a killer deal. Unless I'm missing something?? The front ones are $51.20 at getbmwparts.com Needless to say I just ordered a set of rear ones. Will post pics!

The $5 aren't the OEM ones. Ron Stygar's writeup details the ones I'm talking about, as you linked to.
The parts have been long-discontinued. Tischer told me they can't source them. Same from BavAuto.
I'm considering molding new ones, if I can get ahold of the originals. Or I may just fab something up from scratch if that fails. I AM DETERMINED!

tbw | Are these the one that you are asking about?  | | | | | 06-18-2010, 06:05 PM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: San Diego Posts: 340 |
Yes, precisely! Any chance you might be willing to part with the set? Name your price.
And if I end up having more molded, I'll give you a set for free!

Not that I really care for these or anything but I really have no plans on parting with them unless they're worth something outrageous I.E. $200 plus but I will be willing to let you borrow them if you want to reproduce them. | | | | | 06-18-2010, 11:55 PM | #9 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Rocky Hill, CT Posts: 1,065 |

tbw | Hate to shake your tree - I snagged new OEM mud flaps from Bavarian Autosport about a month ago, for $5. ($5.95). In Feb they were $40 bucks or so. They appear to still be available. Just get online - go to bavauto - type in MUD FLAPS and then select vehicle. Shipping to Fla was $5.95 - so $11.90 total. Good Luck! | | | | | 06-20-2010, 04:04 PM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2008 Location: San Diego Posts: 340 |

OK, so just the rears... I ordered two sets just now, we'll see what happens. I figure I can use the second set as masters for a mold, if I decide to do that.
I wonder why the sales rep said they didn't have them anymore? Perhaps I asked him about front AND rear flaps.
@dahamler: It would be great if I could mold your front flaps, but let me try looking a little bit more, I have this weird feeling I will find a set SOMEHOW.
looking at Stygar's shots, the front ones are what would require a different cut for different side-skirt variations. I don't know if I'll be able to modify a set of rears to fit the front. It's such a smaller flap up there.

Nope, no luck on the fronts. This is the part: 82 16 1 470 176 It's specifically for the E36 with sport side moldings.
Can't find it anywhere! damn.
