Almost certain that CPS is common across the range,certainly for facelift cars,and is perhaps common to M50 engines as well.
GSF/ECP wil be able to supply a suitable part at a better price than the dealer.

Realoem list part no 12141720852 Pulse Generator.

For peace of mind (on such a critical part) I bought mine from Cotswold BMW Cheltenham (look in the "Genuine BMW Parts" forum on here). I'm sure they will post to sunnier places.
