Did you try to find something used first? My local dealer wants over $500 for the new rails and covers, painted!
Ugh!

I tried searching for just the cover but I couldn't find any on ebay. Junk yard might be something to try but they're color matched, so I didn't bother. Fortunately for me, I still had the covers (they were just broken) so I just glued them together.
It really sucks that BMW doesn't sell these as separate parts.
For you, it might be way cheaper if you order the trim yourself (I believe they come primed) and just have a body shop paint them, or paint them yourself if you're good. I was gonna do that but I figured even if I only end up spending $200-$300, that's still over kill to replace a $10 part.
3D printing might be an option. Maybe that's something I can work on 🤔
