Broken sunroof part, where do I get a new one?

I've broken a part in my sunroof. I think it's number 17 in this diagram:

Part number 54121907253

Nobody on ebay seems to have it, I can't find anywhere else. It says it was replaced by another part, of which production has ended, so I assume that means the dealerships won't have it?

Thanks

Google the part numbers R3v guys should have that or a scrape yard

That's because that part never breaks, it is solid metal, only way you can brake it is if you hit it with a hammer.

Try Steve over t BluntTech. Send an email to orders@blunttech.com with the part number and he will let you know if it is available.

I'll have to pull the sunroof apart (gasp) and find out if it is actually that.

Best photo I have of it is

ECS and a lot of other suppliers pull OE part listings from the BMW parts catalogue without regard for whether it's NLA or not so you don't know til you order it.

The dealer can search live inventory back to Germany.

That is a 11 DRIVE CABLE LEFT 1 01/1985 54121933749 $48.98
11 DRIVE CABLE RIGHT 1 01/1985 54121933750 $48.98

You need both. Fixing sunroof can become a fiasco real fast do to all other parts being so dry and fragile.

Thank you so much! I need to get it going again in time for summer. 120 degree Fahrenheit days aren't fun without it.

Yeah, I'm really nervous about pulling it apart for exactly that reason. Hence why I hadn't done anything about it yet.
I'll give my local BMW dealer a call and see if they have it or can get it.
Old BMW parts availability here is always a bit of a lottery.

Thanks gents!
