Aesthestics, clarity, protection. It's a no brainer the lowers, door mirrors or stuff that will oxidize, no matter how much you polish/seal/coat on. On the E53, due to the sill mouldings, it is a no brainer to wrap the lower doors.
Just do keep in mind, for custom installs, these guys are literally taking Xacto knives and are are scoring the film - more often, they score the film right off the paint. ~~you don't see the mistakes as the film masks it~~, but sometimes, they score right into the paint. You will never be the wiser, until you remove the film due to age, etc. Just fwiw.

J, I hear you. Fortunately Xpel had a template on file for the aero package trucks. I was shocked. Some film was cut on the truck but the majority of it was done off of it. The film has a 10 year warranty and I doubt it will even have to come off then as this truck is usually parked under the car port or in the garage so sees less sun exposure than your typical south Texas vehicle.
If there are some scratches after the film eventually does need to come off... then I guess it will have to get painted again. What are you gonna do?  At least it will give me 10+ years of majority protection

Was it this one?
If so, I'm not sure how I feel about it.  :
