this missing part thing got me as well when switching over to the cs.16's and was seriously frustrating me until i talked with one of the techs at BMW. the 36146792829 stem does not need any fabrication. the new design has a thicker seal on the stem that goes through the wheel, and the included nut squeezes and self threads over this seal. a bit more torque is required to get them started over the seal in comparison to the older 36111095375. or simply...

the 1095375 had a washer built onto the nut that allowed tightening up against the wheel surface. the 6792829 uses the larger stem seal to perform the same function.

happy
