I think that is obvious by the decisions that BMW makes.

I'm sure if BMW could pull that one off they would.

Many other vehicles use similar systems, e.g., Ford Taurus, etc. It's a hassle, but one could check-out some vehicles on a non-BMW dealer's floor and, when you find a similar hook, take a walk to the parts department.
By they way, I believe if the rubber-type coating on the earlier model's light switch wears off, the only fix is a complete new light switch... not replacing the knob.
P.S. I've used these on my motorcycles for many years:
Bungee Loops :: Aerostich/RiderWearHouse Motorcycle Jackets, Suits, Clothing, & Gear
Not sure if they would be strong enough, but I suppose one could take a hacksaw and file to them to change the "loop" to a "hook."
