These are the correct clips for my 328is. I assume the same for your 328i.

BAVAUTO carries them...Have ordered some there myself...Long white clips that slide into your side skirts and then are tapped into a rubber grommet on the rocker arm panels...You might have to call...

I think this is the part #51 13 2 251 394 Requires Grommet

It slides in from one end to the other...You might want to order a few extras as sometimes they might break if you are not lined up with the grommet and are too aggressive in securing the clip....IE...You do not need a bigger hammer.
Part Number Description Price Qty. 51 13 2 251 394 Exterior Door Molding Clip - Requires Grommet # 51 13 1 960 127
$1.50

What I gave you is correct, but that reminds me. There are grommets that each snaps into. realoem can provide you with the part# for those.

As for how many, it's gotta be at least 10 per side. I've had to replace the front three on each side, and that's only from the wheel well back to just under the front of the door. so there's gotta be at least seven more on each side. They're cheap. I'd order more than you need and keep them as spares.
