This could be an opportunity for someone fortunate enough to have them to scan and 3D print sets for Z4 owners, as others have suggested. Granted there might be an issue with BMW legal, but also a chance to satisfy a need and make a nice profit for themselves in the process.

Just a thought...
Welcome! That gives me an idea. To avoid legal issues, and assuming the tooling still exists, I wonder if BMW would be willing to help out its fans here and do a limited production run of these if we were to get enough folks to commit to buy a set. I'd consider a second set for myself and I have two friends with E85s. So that's three right off the bat. Also, the E85 / E86 remains immensely popular in the UK (just check out www.z4-forum.com) so I'd expect that there would be strong interest from Z4 owners there too.
