Yes it is.
That is lexan cover built into all of the led headlamp units, viewed after surrounding frame removed .
Okay. And in which case you'd have thought it was easy enough for BMW to supply a replacement. Oh! I forgot! They don't do that sort of thing do they!!

BMW won't, but there's bound to be companies out there that could laser cut some Lexan.
I'll take the risk.
For £63.00 I've gone belt and braces, a busted headlamp lens anywhere would be annoying but mid tour it could take a day or more out of your trip, it's not how often you need it it's how bad you need it when you do.

Define necessary - I am not going to bother for road riding in the same way I haven't bothered with radiator guards, it all comes down to how much you worry about this stuff, the chance of it being seriously damaged is very small so I won't lose any sleep over it. How many people put guards on their car headlights???????

I have a protector, and it's got quite a few stone chip marks on it. So glad I've got one.
So... The protector needs protection:ague (now I'm being cruel )
