The local Bosch shop tells me they cannot cross-reference with BMW and BMW says they cannot cross-reference with Bosch. One wonders how they do business with one another -- perhaps they use smoke signals. In any case if anyone can help in any way I will appreciate it. I look forward to a long and pleasant relationship with my 524td, if I can find this part.

Thanks.
