Buy off BMW . Correct chassis number and slightly clever parts guy will get you the correct cable. Cotwolds sub forum here should get you sorted.

BMW as above. Some parts are much cheaper than you think.

I bought them from BMW about 18 months ago, they're not expensive.

BMW parts on ebay are often more expensive than direct from the dealer. I suspect some sellers order from their local dealer when they get an ebay sale.
