Sweet! The PDF doc attached to first post by ekelly says these are available for both the 4.8 and 3.0 E70. Called my dealer and they were unsure if they would ship these to the U.S. The parts rep suggested we place the order and see if they ship. As of right now there were none in the continental U.S.! Price quoted for each side was $168.00 THANKS ekelly for the info!

What's the part number for this in the US??? I typed the p/n which is in pdf file above and it says there's no part number like that in the US.

Called a dealer in London this morning, and it seems like 21st century still didn't reach the car dealers. They have the part available, but they CAN NOT take the credit card payment over the phone or Internet, and they can not ship to US!! WTF?

I've been buying high end watches from Tokyo, Hong Kong, Munich, London etc. without the problem. BMW exhaust tips can not be had from abroad.

Maybe something like Rolex? They have an agreement with US Customs, that a US citizen can not have a watch shipped to US from abroad. Carrying one on the wrist is not a problem, but shipping is! And that makes sense? Anyway, for Rolex I have a "workaround" the rules. But how to get these tips in the US?
