Does anyone know how long BMW/MINI takes to start putting out accessories?

I live in a Rural Area and have many unsaved roads, not too mention living in the Snow Belt Midwest and would really like to get some Splash-Guards or Mud Flaps on my Clubman...

Even some aftermarket, that are actually made for the F54 would interest me

 

Anyone? Any word on if these will even be made...?

 

Someone over on the Countryman section mentioned they had put a set of Rally Armor flaps on theirs:

I am also interested. Somewhat surprised a broader accessories catalogue is taking so long for the clubman.

 

I am still waiting...

I bought my 2017 in MAY, i was really hoping to have OEM Splash Guards on by Winter. Where are these????

 

That's annoying. Have you reached to Mini directly? I sent them a note, at minimum, might be helpful for them to know that there's demand. I suspect that for the niche-ier models (like the Clubman) they wait for a few model years to be in circulation before spending time/money on accessory inventory.

 

Tried Mini on timing of an expanded accessories catalogue, they came back with "call your local parts department".

 

Probable Translation: "We don't know either."

 

Bummer news to hear, need to pester my dealer to see if they have any insight as to any options. With today's market place, OEM accessories like this should hit the shelves as soon as the car hits the lots. Being in the snow belt as well and taking delivery in the dead of winter, it would be nice to get some protection on first thing.

 

BMW/MINI we are STILL waiting! Please come out with the Splash Guards for the F54...

 

Disappointed in #MINIUSA #MINI

Here is the email response I got when asking again, as I have been asking for over a year now. Disappointing that a brand new design and they have decided not to provide us Splash Guards!

Possible translation: They didn't sell well so we stopped making them?

I don't think they ever made them to begin with and don't have plans to.
