Is anyone parting an E53 X5? If so, I need part #13711438472 - Intake Boot

[BimmerM3inGA]

I'm in the middle of doing some engine work on my 2002 4.6is and discovered that the intake boot, part #13711438472, is damaged. This is the boot that goes from the air intake behind the kidney grilles to the air filter (http://motors.shop.ebay.com/Car-Truck-Parts-/6030/i.html?_nkw=Air+Filter) housing.

None of the vendors I've checked with have one in stock, and don't have an ETA.

I found one on fleaBay for $25 shipped, but the seller just sent me a message saying that he accidentally stepped on it and ruined it. WTF? Does anyone have one laying around that they can part with (preferably without stepping on it)? I think the part is the same for the 6 and 8 cylinder models, but mine is a V8 (if it matters).

Uh, I did. I contacted a half dozen dealers, and several aftermarket parts vendors. All are out of stock with no ETA. For whatever reason, this part is not available through the normal parts network in the USA or Germany.

I found another one on eBay at a dealer in Miami. I contacted them to verify that it's actually in stock. They say it is, and I went ahead and ordered it, but I'm skeptical.

I got the one from the dealer in Miami. Apparently is was the only one in the country! I actually arrived damaged (crushed), but I was able to use a heat gun to bend it back into shape. There was no way I was sending it back and starting the search all over again!
