If it's just this small area, then the rust can be cut out and a new piece of metal fabricated and welded in place.

If there's a lot of rust, a new rear panel can still be bought from BMW and you could replace the lot.

There's quite a few rebuild threads in the gallery section showing replacement of these areas...
