sense? :-)

Yes, but the references to the MB part mention drilling, welding and
modifying the critter.  Igor Kessel posted that the MB part numbers are
"from a 240D or 300D, chassis # 123:   Bearing: 0039812325   Rubber cap:
1234101081".  But you do have to do some cutting and welding, per Igor:

And finally, it appears from the following post that Mr. Blau does indeed
make them, and it's not just a cross referenced BMW part:

Sorry so long, but I wanted to save someone else the headache of searching.
