Go to the dealer or try Ebay. Or, post on one of the BMW forums and ask those guys.

you just need to buy the clips, go to calgary bmw and tell them you need a clip, i think they were like not even $0.50 for one.

Was that way a couple years ago. They introduced minimum prices for parts recently in Germany and I suppose in Canada too (e.g. a part has to cost at minimum ...). Thus, it adds up if you need a couple clips. Last time we needed these clips they came 0,67 EUR apiece.

However, instead of visiting the official dealer check a paint shop in your city. If they paint imports they should have these clips on reserve, since they also have to detach these mouldings for paint jobs. You probably can get all of them for a six-pack there since these guys get discounts from the manufacturers. That's the way "networking" works in Germany :).

Man is that stuff really that expensive over there? If you need less expensive stuff shipped directly from Germany visit my cousin (http://www.race-corner.de) (-> Kontakt) or PM me. I am still living at the source :D.
