It's not necessary in the UK, as HM government tracks you using its network of cameras.

I think iversonm was kidding around...

Have you contacted a BMW dealership's parts department? Any dealer can order the part for you -- it's probably not something that is stocked.

Sorry for the confusion. I was building on the "secret tracking device" thread.

You need the box.

Make sure you flush all the salt off the car. It's highly corrosive and will cause metal to rust or otherwise oxidize over time if you don't get ALL of it out. Be especially focused on cleaning the electrical cable connectors that got wet. If they get cruddy, all sorts of weird stuff can happen. You might want to squirt some WD-40 on the connectors when you are all done cleaning it up.
