Coupeguy has had a special tool made to create stainless steel versions of the holder strips used to attach the rubber impact strips to the bumpers. See here:

[FONT=Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, san-serif]304 Stainless Steel formed impact retainer strips which you simply bend to fit the bumper contour and drill to pop rivet to your bumper just like the factory parts, but will NEVER rust. If your rubber impact bumper pieces are drooping, falling off or missing, these have probably rusted away. The factory parts rust very quickly as do other repro replacement strips which are just pre galvanized steel which will rust as well. These parts will never rust, and even though they are hidden in use, they still look great. $140/set of four.[/FONT]

Unfortunately he does not have any available right now anymore. But he mentioned that he could have another batch made if he has at least 10 sets ordered.

Dan says the original price of $140 should stay there unless the cost of the raw materials have increased much. FYI, the BMW version costs $230 and I do not believe they are stainless. So they will face the rust devil in the face at some point...

Who would be ready to order a set of those?
 
OK. It does not look like enough people need this right now. So this stainless option is not going to happen now.

Moving on, I found some available at WallothNesch. In case someone is interested shipping to Los Angeles is 36 euros.

just a word of advice,
walloth is following their tend to re-produce pure crap, and these slim and thin parts are not going to be an exception
w&n has reduced the thickness of these parts significatively
i bought them in 2008 and again back in 2013 and they were nice and strong
a friend bought them a month ago, thickness has been clearly reduced they are weak and dull now
same price as in 2013, guess it, keep price and reduce quality,...

Before I knew about the SS ones, I bought what I thought, were OEM ones from ECSTuning.

Isn't what you buy from W&N also from BMW if OEM is still available?
 
okay guys - we are half way there. if anybody has rubber that isn't sitting perfectly on their bumper ... this is what you need, those steel BMW ones rust away. as deQ said, the new ones from W+N are cheap crap ... and if Coupeguy isn't going to stock them, our options are getting limited. lets get good ones while we can
