The Genuine BMW part looks like it is still available from FCP Euro, and several other sellers...even Amazon.

Part # 31507503115

I have my E53 3.0 front drivetrain apart right now replacing the front subframe, oil pan gasket and the right axle. I was not planning on replacing the bracket w/bearing at this point, though might consider it.
