Side Fairing

[Mark91]

Dear All,

I would have a problem. I have the 2016 modell, in gray/white colour.
I am looking for the left engine side painted fairing, but based on my BMW dealer it is not available anymore.
Has somebody any tips where should I check the new one?

Thank you very much for your help.
Kind regards,
Mark

BMW does not sell the 'painted' panels, they do however sell panels that are primed and ready to be painted (by you the customer to whatever colour you want). from BMW parts fiche
"Notes:

THE AVAILABILITY OF THE PAINTED PARTS
IS ENSURED ONLY DURING THE PERIOD OF

ALTERNATIVE PRIMER-COATED PARTS ARE TO

I assume that this si the part you are looking for - https://www.kfm-motorraeder.de/cms/en/genuine-spare-parts/bmw-spare-parts?itemid=46638549033
and the paint codes are above

RealOEM site is listing the panels in their finished colours, with some items marked as no longer available, which is weird given what SimonUK has posted.

Real OEM is pretty old though....not sure how often they update the website... The Gen-2 (K69) machines are only shown to 11/2019, clearly they're couple of years out of date...!

Smithy.

The point would have been though, that the panels are painted.

Plus some are now shown as unavailable, which would be odd if it was two years out of date.

None of which helps the op…..

I thought giving a link to the panel he can order and get painted was pretty helpful, and also supplying the paint codes 

I just ordered some primed panels, they are way cheaper than the painted prices

I was referring to my last post, not yours.

yes, bmw does not sell multicolor panels because they are not painted.
what needs to be done is: you order a white panel - that's not only primed but actually white-painted, and a set of two stickers in your color (gray/red).
the panel as its a front one should be clear coated after you put the sticker on (the other side is).
you will find that there is a great deal of money-saving going on from bmw. front panels are clear coated with stickers underneath, rear panels are just white panels with stickers on without a clear coat protecting the stickers.
just a side note: I have never seen a set of stickers that expensive though :)

Thank you for the tips ;) Do you have any recommendation regarding the type of the clear coat ?
From the rear panel, easy the remove the sticker?

The prices... yes
