Part numbers for Euro parts not on US cars?

[mstevens]

A chronic frustration for me with BMW's is that, unlike Mercedes, they ship cars to the US without warning triangles and first aid kits. In all my previous cars, I've (eventually) obtained the pertinent bits. Typically, Canadian dealers have them. Sometimes, these are quite useful to the non-obsessive. One example would be the under-seat first aid kit boxes that many people mounted without the first aid kits in the e85 Z4 to provide a place for sunglasses.

I've now looked at every thread header here and tried to do some searches but haven't come up with anything.

Can anyone provide me part numbers for the retaining clips for the warning triangle in the boot or for the European first aid kit?

Are there any other interesting or useful bits we don't get in the US?

I'm admittedly a bit obsessive about this.

Thanks a lot for that. The warning triangle brackets look as if they're $0.86 each. Good thing BMW NA economized on those and passed the savings on to the consumer.

Don't worry, apparently they're making it all back on the $50 sunglass case!
