Alternatively, if my understanding is correct that your car is previously configured with the vent tube hose; how about you cut the new "ventless" one at a similar location as yours, install the 3-way plastic piece with secure clips from your original hose and, connect everything up as you had it originally? And voila! you are once again compliant with original configuration.....
Please keep us posted with your findings.

Thanks for your input Falcon! I await response from thebmwpartstore.com on whether they carry the original version I have with any explanation tomorrow. I may also stop by the dealer as you say to get first hand info.
On cutting, the way it broke off renders the 3 way connect useless because the plastic connector broke off in a way that can't make another secure connection.
