Genuine rear inner arches can still be bought from BMW, my right hand inner cost £120. Think the other side was £160.

If you look at your inner arches from your boot with the carpet taken out, you'll see a metal lip running up the middle of your wheel housing. It's the section closest to the outer wing (rear qtr) I replaced and bought new from BMW.
If that's the section your after, I'd shop around for the best price.
