Not necessarily.
They may have made the part available only to pacify OCD customers.
And don't forget the placebo effect, which is definitely real.
Or, it could be an easy way to make more money, so why not? Just like the myriad of BMW branded accessories.
What's more telling to me is the fact that BMW engineering removed it completely from their later models runs. My 2018 does not have any such trims on either side.
