Yes there was a problem with them that got improved and an SIB was issued. Also there was a fix the dealer was doing for a while too. What model and DOP is your car?
See if these help:
1. SIB 631106 - Rear Brake Light / Parking Light is Out
2. SIB 630807 - Rear Lamp Repair (in 5 parts due to upload size restrictions)
3. SIB 044206 - BMW Plastic Repair Kit (for above SIB)
4. Excellent DIY article on tail lamp assembly repair.

I did see a different part #, but this always seems to get superceded in one fashion or another. Whether or not it's a improved part is a hopefully something Weasel or X5 Meister can shed some light on.
