What is this part "officially called"?

Hi,

I have a BMW 325i 2002 4dr sedan. Right in front of the front wheels, there
are pieces of black plastic, somewhat soft plastic, that sort of form "in
front of the wheel mud flaps". This piece of plastic extends up the wheel
wells and covers them. From examination, there are at least two pieces. The
piece I am interested in is the mud flap portion, and it covers the wheel
well from about 3'oclock up to about 1:30'oclock. What is the official name
of this piece? I've searched the net, and the closest I've seen is this:

http://shop.car-body-parts.com/bmw-3...s-b222109.html

But that seems to be the 2nd part, which goes up from 1:30'oclock onwards.
It doesn't seem to have the piece that extends down to form the little mud
flap/splash guard thing. That part I am looking for seems like it would be
the companion piece to this. To finish covering the wheel well and form the
mud flap.

Thanks.

There are two parts here, one if you have the aero kit, one without. I
suspect the without is more common.

Without aero kit part number
left side 51 71 8 193 811
right side 51 71 8 193 812

With aero kit
left side 51 71 8 264 467
right side 51 71 8 264 468

In the UK, it's called an inner wing liner. The US equivalent would be
fender. BMW will call them something else because they are BMW.

Those parts are typically the kinds of parts that come from the dealer only.
If you go to the dealership, the Parts Guy will bring up the picture, and
you can point out the parts you want.

These parts are generally called fender liners, or live next to what is
called a fender liner. If you ask for a fender liner, the Parts Guy will be
able to bring up the right page, and you can pick your parts from there. I
have replaced a couple of these parts on my 3 Series because the damn
parking curbs like to jump up and take a bite. Anyway, I have found that
most of the stuff under there that looks like a fender liner costs in the
range of $25 (USD).

HINT,
It is much easier to work in the area if you take the tires off. I have
tried a variety of schemes to work in the area, nothing works as well as
getting the jack out and taking the tire(s) off.

Try this website - it's help me name ALOT of parts as well as get part
numbers... too bad they aren't selling stuff off of it yet...
