    part number for seat release cables?

    So, one of the cables in my driver's seat has broken. I went to my local dealership, and all of the diagrams they have show only the passenger seat, where the cables form an x in the back and there are two levers. Neither of those cables are the right length. :) Does anyone know what the correct part number is for the vertical / shorter release cable in the driver's seat in a 1989 BMW 325i 2-door would be? I'd just make a new one, but since they're not that expensive, I'd rather save the irritation and just get the right part... And it broke right at the crimp in the clip on the bottom, so there's not much material to clamp a new piece of wire rope on to.

    It's probably mostly my dealer's fault this is such a hassle, since they just got BMW as part of their line (they were a Mazda/Chrysler dealer) and the parts guys there aren't very good at finding stuff yet.

    Thanks much.

      Ok, got the part number for the ends, and the two little nylon guides that come with a new cable? And know someone willing to spend the time making them for less than the $8 or so the part should cost, based on cost of the other pre-assembled cables? :)
