Fernando thats great, I would never have noticed that if you didn't point them out, now I am going to check for them when I get home - anyone have any luck on RealOEM?

Just wish there were replacement parts for them!:dunno:
Well yeah, but I didnt even know they existed, so I sure as heck wouldnt know what they are called. :dunno: :D

Thanks for sharing!

Thank God I have both of mine LOL! I may glue them in place this weekend just to be sure they don't go missing

:rofl::rofl:...Yep ,you do that ,they are precious!I got the parts dept guy trying to find out if bmw can supply on special order .as there are other models with same issues ,but no luck yet!Must be because it's bank holiday here Thursday and he wasn't in a hurry.:)

More reason to get a 3D scanner and printer.

could they possibly ahve just fallen off and ended up inside the rear hatch somewhere? take the black plastic off and see if they are inside somewhere.

We found a lot of problems with missing bump stops on lower trunk lid lock ,which affect the side to side movement!
The picture below is self explanatory ,so check if your bump stops are there!
I cant find a reference number for these (maybe Quicksilver can help) and I didnt want to take one off a customers car :D,so I made my own:rolleyes:!
this is exactly how mine looks. D'oh. best try to track that down OR cut up a bit of school eraser to same thickness as plastic part on passenger side and glue onto the existing black rubber... why not just make the bump stop entirely rubber and exclude the plastic that could get lost. DAMN

so sadly that plastic "cap" over the rubber is not sold separately from BMW
it comes on the striker latch 51248120848
