Not for sure but I figure they allow access to something inside the fender liner. It may be that a stage in the assembly line requires access or it may be a maintenance item. I've never removed them though.

Or perhaps they thought they might need a brake air duct there at one point but never implemented it?

On other vehicles, these covers often allow for fog lamp bulb replacement...

They will be there for a reason though - I can't imagine BMW would add parts for no reason!
