Infrared Remote parts?

[tray]

Hello, I'm just wondering if anyone has a old IR remote kicking around or know where to get one? It's for the M5. I just need it for parts because mine still works with the car. I asked how much a new one was at the dealer and they want almost 400 bucks. I don't need one that badly.

What happened was I was locking the car with the key hole on the trunk but the screw that attachs the key to the remote backed out a touch and got jammed in the key hole. I tired to wiggle it out but I ended up snapping the part that part between the key and the remote in half. The key and all the broken bits ended up in the key hole so I had to find some small tools to pick everything out.

After this I figured out how to connect the car with the remote locks now so I don't have to use the key anymore.


Here are some pics of the remote...

That is the usual point where they break.
I have a complete new one on stock.66101390263.
Can sell to you, as I meanwhile got another used one as spare.
US$ 220.00 shipped to Canada from Japan by airmail, unregistered, if you want to have it by registered and trackable EMS, plus $10.
Excluding the batteries (not included).
Optional extras:

pls free screws

But you can also order the lower part which is broken,
from your dealer (I also had some new ones, but all gone at the moment), part number is 66101390655 and BMW calls it cover

If Erich can't hook you up, I have a near new one that we ordered for a euro M5, guy hated the range and we ended up installing the factory alpine RF alarm kit. The remote's been sitting around for ~4 years, but I saw it today and the battery's still good. PM me if you want to discuss...

Thanks for the responses. If I can't get the "cover" from the dealer I will get a hold of one of you two forsure. Then again it might be nice to have a second remote too.

Still have 3 blank keys for the IR remote # 51211950394 plusg the small screws for that. But shipping to USA will probably the same as the cost when you buy them for example from ECS, they have stock
