They are protecting them, but it's a model specific only to BMW UK. I'm not sure why they're being so restrictive outside of that market.
I do have the part numbers and think I've managed to convince a garage in London to sell them to me. (Bribing parts managers is always fun.)
I'm heading to London on business in 2 weeks to hopefully get the bits I want along with a few other EU-specific parts, like tails, bumper, first aid kit, etc.
I just purchased equivalents of most of this stuff from iND, but you can't beat original OEM.
Neil - I'll ping you when I'm in London. I'll see if I can get you hooked up, too.
