I tried to order a new "tank filler pot" 51 71 8 400 209 to my S50 roadster ( no 18 on: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do ... 65&lang=en). The message I got from the dealer is that it is discontinued without replacement.

There is only one way - used one, the same part is in all pre-facelift 6 cylinder models, and in all facelift z3s.
Re: 51 71 8 400 209 no more
Ok - so it is the same part also in the face lift models? I did not know that, they did not come up in Realoem.

Yes it is the same, only 4-cylinder pre-facelift models with narrow rear wings have this part in diffrent shape.
