The BMW X5 is a big, wide, expensive SUV — and its tires are very good at sandblasting its own paint. The G05-generation X5 (2020–2026) runs wide rubber on a tall body, and everything those tires pick up — gravel, road salt, slush, tar, construction debris — gets thrown straight at the rocker panels, lower doors, and rear quarters. Rock chips on an X5 aren’t a cosmetic nitpick; they’re a repair bill and a resale hit. The fix is almost embarrassingly simple: a set of mud flaps molded for the truck. Vicrez’s Mud Flaps Front and Rear vz102963 are built specifically for the 2020–2026 X5, and at $94.49 for the full four-corner set, they’re the cheapest paint insurance you can buy for this SUV.
Key Takeaways
- Full front-and-rear set for the BMW X5 (2020–2026, G05) — all four corners covered for $94.49.
- Durable ABS plastic construction, machine-cut for a vehicle-specific fit with a clean, factory-inspired appearance.
- Deflects rock chips, road debris, mud, and slush away from rocker panels, doors, and rear quarters.
- Installs with the supplied plastic mounting hardware (minor drilling may be required; double-sided tape is an alternative). Made in the USA.
- Prefer to buy them separately? Front-only (vz102961) and rear-only (vz102962) sets are $49.99 each.
Why Your X5 Needs Mud Flaps
Look at any high-mileage X5 from the side and you’ll see the pattern: peppered rocker panels, chipped lower door edges, and a haze of tiny impacts behind the rear wheels. It’s worst on trucks that see gravel roads, winter duty, or construction zones — but even pure highway miles take a toll, because the X5’s wide tires sit nearly flush with the bodywork and there’s nothing between them and the paint.
Mud flaps close that gap. Mounted behind each wheel, they intercept debris at the source — before it can chip clear coat, gouge paint down to primer, or pack slush and salt against the bodywork all winter. On a vehicle that stickers from the mid-$60Ks to well past six figures in M Competition trim, protecting the finish for under a hundred dollars is the easiest math in ownership.
What You Get
The vz102963 set covers both axles — front and rear — in one box. The flaps are molded from durable ABS plastic: lightweight, glossy, and tough enough to shrug off the impacts they’re built to take, in summer heat and winter cold alike. They’re precisely engineered with machine-cut technology for the X5’s wheel arches specifically, not trimmed from a universal blank, so the look stays clean and factory-inspired rather than tacked-on truck-stop chrome.
And because they’re shaped for this SUV, they follow the G05’s lines instead of fighting them — protection that reads as OEM, not aftermarket clutter. Vicrez makes them in the USA.
Fitment and Installation
Fitment is the whole G05 run: BMW X5, 2020 through 2026 — every model year is confirmed in the product’s vehicle fitment notes. Installation uses the supplied plastic mounting hardware for a secure, vehicle-specific fit; minor drilling may be required depending on the application. If you’d rather not drill, automotive-grade double-sided tape works as an alternative mounting method (tape not included).
One honest note: if you only want one axle protected, Vicrez also sells the front set (vz102961) and rear set (vz102962) at $49.99 each — but the full front-and-rear set at $94.49 covers everything for less than the pair bought separately.
The Product
Featured Product
A single paint-chip repair at a body shop can run several times the cost of this set — and that’s before you count the respray blending on a metallic BMW finish. For $94.49, the vz102963 set is the rare mod that pays for itself the first time a dump truck drops gravel in your lane.
