Howdy all, I just had to bring this up! Traditional BMW mudguards/ new on German EBay. Although I don't have an E3, I can well imagine that it will lend the car a cool 60-70's look. Pic attached. NMNA!

I recall seeing the E3's with the mudguards, front and back, way back then. Soon after, the style seemed to have disappeared. On a coupe I think they'd look like, kind off 'overdoing it', but on a limousine would be period correct, me thinks.

Simufly, In the good old days when we drove our coupes 12 months/ year, those mudguards surely were a rust/ rot saver. The mud etc would sit tight in the wheel arches, eating away. Our main enemy!
Now we keenly look at the weather report (and hardly end up driving)!

those look great, I must have a pair! Are these for sale outside of ebay? This particular seller isn't shipping to US.

Anyone have period photos of them?
