Rub strips for parking lot protection
Is there a factory rub strip available for the X1s? I'd rather have a matching color, and don't want to fool around painting the part.
Happy for any opinions on the matter as well. Thnx, Moon |

Nay. I'm pretty sure they don't even exist for other BMW models. You could get the ugly rubber ones from autozone or whatever.

If anything, maybe go to a body shop and ask. There is probably an aftermarket piece that is cheap and cheap for them to paint for you.

Do what I do: park far away from any other vehicle. It's also good exercise to walk a little further.
I've even trained my SO to do the same.

I had rub strips on the Honda Fit; they were an OEM part and painless to install. They even looked good. Moon |

You can always go this route. For the life of me, I can't figure why I see cars on the road driving around with these things hanging off their rear end. Almost as gauche as a boater leaving his fenders over the side while underway.
