The simple answer is yes, and in fact most are still available (at a price, of course) from BMW. People like ECP and GSF also do replacement pattern parts, but the general consensus is that they either fit badly or need a lot of work to make them fit correctly. Top tip is to buy a second - hand panel oem panel and fit that.

Welcome to the zone, by the way :D

Understand 'Beaver Panels' make/stock these bits.No idea how to contact them,though.
They definitely make an outer arch panel,which I would guess you also need....remember that early and late cars vary slightly in this area.
Welcome to the zone from me as well,enjoy your company!

I've had imperial panels recommended to me, they are a brand as opposed to a reseller.

Post on the genuine parts department (Cotswold BMW) section of the zone - they offer zoners a discount!

When you have come round from the fainting bit brought on by contacting them, placing a wanted ad on here may well bring some results for you :)
