Thanks @bing, this was really helpful, my ocd with my dipped bonnet was killing me. First pic the bonnet had slightly dipped on the drivers side. Got the orginal parts from ebay direct from BMW, £7.80 each

I know it's only millimeters, but it's more obvious when I'm driving!!

Bought 4 pieces as I only had one attached to bonnet

Question: What's worse than being a perfectionist?
Answer: Nothing!!
I was looking a bit more closely at the photographs provided by Bing, and at an enlarged portion of the RealOEM page that shows that pesky 51237116856. I'd like to propose the the orientation of the bump stop should be turned 180° from the installed orientation shown in Bing's photographs. Seems like it fits more snugly and intersects more correctly with the fender channel. I couldn't determine how AMIN's bump stops were installed. Thanks for tolerating my OCD.

Well spotted @wyshyvanuk, mine are at a 180degree to what bing has them. Otherwise they will fall out more easily.

Also be mindful where you position them, you don't want to be forcing/slamming the bonnet shut every time

Just a note about this listing, I followed the eBay link and ordered the bump stop (I’ve been meaning to do it for ages as those couple of mm’s bother me too). Anyway as per the picture on here I was expecting 4 pieces but actually only one was in the (sealed) bag. So quite expensive for one bit of rubber, on the other hand it worked flawlessly!
