BMW do not produce the film that goes on the rear doors to prevent them from picking up chips due to the nature of the wheels on the car. They seemed to have stopped producing the part - BMW themselves can not find any part for this, and there is nothing on RealOEM either.

It's flapping about on the door now and is getting quite annoying, does anyone know an independent bodyshop specialist in the North West, who could fabricate a new one for me? Or, does anyone know where I can buy it from if there is still some stock anywhere?

Maybe worth phoning a few car wrapping places to see if they do a similar product

I think that it is item 16 here.....paint protection film.  Just an educated guess and knowing how BMW hide things on the parts system!

I can't be sure if it's number 16 on that diagram, or if 16 actually contains what I want. Initially BMW did order a part in but it wasn't the right thing - it seemed to be something that went on the actual arch of the wheel itself and not the piece of film that goes on the doors.

I will check this part number with BMW and if not then I'll just go the wrapping specialist way, they probably would be more help and most likely less expensive!

It is hard to tell as it comes in a box.  I did try to find images from the part numbers but so far without success.  At least it should enable yo to check if the part numbers are right, and these items are about £30 each.
