My newly discovered issue with the E70 plastic fenders is that the mount piece breaks and isn't replaceable.... They look like they are originally attached with a tab but that can break free and also break off so they get lost.

My x5 had one missing so now I am out of luck unless someone has one or I can beg one off from someone selling a bumper on ebay...

If the plastic piece here breaks then there is no BMW part for it...





It comes only with a full fender (original picture shown with the part circled below:



Very annoying... Has anyone else encountered this?

I am tempted to have some of these made in aluminum if anyone else needs one let me know...
