Ah oke. That is 1,5 mm, but 2 will do fine. 1mm is not recommendable. But is it a patch or a larger piece? They are still available at bmw, I thought...

A patch about 100mm wide. I’ve some 1.2mm I was going to use, just wondering if that will be ok?

Well, just make sure it is welded all around., 1.2mm is much better than cracked rust...
