Does F10 have rear rock guards?

This is my fourth BMW -- third body style. All my other ones --03 540, 05 545, and 08 550 have had rear rock guards, but no front rock guards (The little plastic pieces right in front of the tires underneath the car in the front of the wheelwell. All the F10s I've seen have fronts and no rears.

On the BMWUSA website, the F10 has front and rears. Whey would the picture on the website have both, and the actual car have only the fronts? Do anyone know the reason for this, or why they switched them? Also, what are the rock guards guarding rocks from?

No and if they did I would removed them I think their called mud guards and it's to protect the side from mud splashes.

They're actually underneath the car in front of the wheels, not behind them.
