Even cars like the 1-series Active-E have such 'protection'. Many folks have tried to buy the hood from the Active-E (it has a bulge/power dome), but not possible unless you own/have a repair order for an Active-E.
BMW is even turning down GTS owners for new parts. They must send photos of the damaged parts to BMW or have the local dealership inspect them before releasing the new parts.
