You'll be lucky! I think within the first 3 years they would have done but unlikely now that the cars are over 5.
Unless you sleep with the BMW parts man - like Mark does...!

I had a new one at 2 year old and tried for CSL kickplates last year but they were having none of it. Trim pieces not covered apparently.

I got new kick plates, badges and a steering wheel when it was over 3 years old.

I would say it depends greatly on your relationship with your dealer (service tech). They will make the recommendation to BMW GB.
