Not sure what the shipping costs to AU would be, but here's one on eBay - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2001-...spagenameZWDVW

(note, that seller's feedback isn't perfect and the details don't indicate if that's from a 3.0i or a 4.4i - so do your homework)

92% for feedback is horrible. I would stay away from that seller. This is one site that is a BMW recycler: www.bmrparts.com

Here is a link for X5 transmission on their site:

http://www.data.bmrparts.com/bmwpart...70049809U.html (4.4i)

They seem like a really good place to buy parts from. They have a dedicated shipping department, and do ship globally .
