Do you guys know what's the greyish seal around the part (side vents)? I will be using a replacement (X3M style from ebay) and I want to apply similar seal, to make water doesn't get in.

The grey material is all hard plastic afaik, and part of the trim part that clips into the fender. The OEM X3M style should have the necessarily clips to attach in the same way.

It's some sort of squishy foam/seal. I touched it when I took it off.

I'm planning to use a replacement part, so won't be an exact match. Based on the pictures, it doesnt have the grey foam around it like the OEM.

By “replacement part” do you mean not from BMW ? If so, ask the supplier.

The fenders are Aluminium so a bit of water won’t affect it.

Yes, think aliexpress or ebay, custom made replacement. I reached out to supplier, good idea, they might know.

Not worried about the fenders, although on the left side of the X3, there's one cable running inside of the fender, so I figured the seal/foam is there for a reason.

I will probably take the part out, go to home depo or some auto store and ask around if they have something similar.
