IMO, not feeling them...pass. If you are worried about scratching up your bumper when loading things into the back, keep a blanket handy, or they make specialized mats for that as well. GL with your decision.

As others have mentioned, if you're concerned about scratching the bumper during loading / unloading from the trunk .. Check out Rudy's post,

At least with the boot-buddy, you can roll it out when you need it, and hide it when you don't

Give Tom a call at Paintshield
They fitted my 3M clear bra and can knock you up a custom made strip of the stuff to cover the rear bumper top. Resilient and invisible. Great if you've got dog's or do alot of loading.

Alright, there is BMW original equipment - that changes the situation 
no need to look further.
Btw. MarcsOnFire - that sounds like the elegant solution, I'm starting to build a to do list when I go for holiday to your country

Funny thing about that bumper strip ...
I have a Yellow Labrador (5 years old) and every time he gets out of the trunk, he steps exactly where that strip should be. Everytime I watch him, I think "ah f#$%", but he is my dog, and I love him more than that bumper
