Hello, does anyone know if you can get replacement pre-facelift rear corner panels from BMW? The part that sits below the bumper, behind the rear wheels.


Am I right in thinking number 20 is what I'm looking for?

If not I've found these pattern panels, does anybody know if these are any good?

Or if not where I could get some decent quality panels from?

Thanks in advance,
Luke

BMW don't sell repair or patch panels. You'd have to buy a complete rear 1/4 panel and cut off the bits you need. If you want just the bit below the bumper, there are plenty of places that will supply one but it will be a "pattern" part and may not be an exact copy. Also, there is a difference between the prefacelit and facelift so make sure you get the right one. Be prepared to find more rust when you start your repair.
Not a purist.
