Hi I had the same problem and I called my local dealership. Sandia BMW in Albuquerque. They gave me the code at no charge. You could try calling them. They don't need to know you are not local. Just a thought.
Good luck
My dealer parts man does it free but I've done him minors favors as well. Service writers are salesmen in disguise and will usually want to charge you.
You'll need the radio serial number from either a tag or plate on the radio itself. If the radio code does correlate with the car's VIN(I'm certain the Germans made a record of it) it's not retrieved that way which makes the whole proving ownership of the car thing a bit silly. Radios sometimes got swapped, even before new cars were delivered.
