Yeah you won't be able to really find it in stores at all. I tried several stores around my area and not a single one had it. I had to order mine from here http://www.burgertuning.com/N54_BMW_...t_adapter.html

I bought this one. I liked that it didn't use the magnetic washer (since they can fall off unexpectedly sometimes).
