Help me recognize these parts plz!

Hi!

Not new to e90post, have been reading but just registered until now. In fact, this forums helped me deciding for a E90 :P

I have been using an e90 sedan for a couple years now, yesterday I hit a ramp not very hard but anyway I checked, there where broken parts under the left rear wheel. (Attaching some photos.)

(from right to left)


The small cube seems to be some kind of a bump because it has 4 in total (2 each side), then, the large part seems to be some kind of cover (for water and mud maybe?), and finally the third part which was "inside" I have no idea. All parts are made of hard plastic.


??? Part


Cube

Wondering if someone knows how important do you think these parts are? What are they for?
I'm taking the car to the shop until Monday, so the real question is, should I be worried? should I stop using the car till I get it fixed?



Thanks guys!

It goes between the plastic side skirt and the metal rocker structure above it. The small plastic push pins hold it in place, and they hold longer pins that keep the plastic side skirt in place. You cannot see it until you take the side skirt off.
