your talking about the door trim arent you? mine melted off on saturday as well. you need to buy strong flexible glue. i went to screw fix to get it. when i get home il let you know what its called. dont use any old glue. or else it would make it worse.
on my 330, i had both sides, completely come off at the same time. i fought with bmw customer services for about a month, and they eventually paid for replacement trim. (i had extended bmw warranty)

That is exactly what I was going to suggest, mine has not moved for nearly a year now:cool:

I used Bison epoxy resin (2-part glue) and seems to hold well.
