I have a few small things I need.
Like shown in attachment, I need part #8, the plastic part covering directly underneath driver front fascia.

Also there is a temperature sensor down there (the one that tells you what temperature it is outside on the dash of your car) I think it was damaged or torn also where can I order a new one. Anybody have a pic how it mounts and where underneath when I found it, it was just kind of hanging, and sometimes it displays 44 below and the AC doesn't work right.

You can probably order it from any one of our vendors, however, I'd get it from your local BMW dealership because shipping the wheel liner is going to require a big box and I'd imagine hefty shipping fees.

Came through big time again thanks, I emailed my local dealer.
I'm no electrical genius is this going to be an easy fix rewiring the new sensor into place?

So is the socket actually part of the item I ordered and not shown, or another portion I'll see once I get the car up on ramps and take down the damaged plastic inner fender?

If the wiring harness is damaged, you'll need to solder it back together again... or buy a new wiring harness ( $$$ ). You really need to get under there and see what is left. if the socket still exists, you only need a new temperature sensor to plug into the socket.

Alright I got underneath for awhile, the damaged part I'll attach a pic of.
The rest including wiring and harness is fine, now if you look at the first pic it looks like it pictures something the pyramid/cone figure that this would slide right into. It's part of the liner I'm missing due to damage I'm guessing?

Right... the wiring harness is on top of the fender liner and the part you pictured plugs into the wiring harness with the fender liner between.
