If you really want one...I highly suggest that you call the 800 number that you see in the link in my previous post (M-F/7am-5pm...they're not open on the weekends). Have the 11 digit BMW part nbr & your key's code nbr handy...that will speed things along.
Speak to one of the parts counter guys (ask for Mike Trumbull) and perhaps he can explain (better) how you still may be able to order one. It is not "in stock" but they contact BMW NA with your "key code" and it is ordered that way. Perhaps the person you spoke with at your local BMW dealership wasn't familiar with the ordering process. I think it's similar to buying a key for your car...they show up a similar way in the part database...because they are not something the local dealership "stocks"...but must be ordered from BMW NA with the specific code...and then it is sent to that dealership.
Give it a try...nothing ventured nothing gained. Mike's a really nice/cool guy and may be able to help you find the proper key/tool to mount your racks. Plus the online price of $8.80 ain't all that bad either.
