Best place to buy JCW air filter element?

My '02 MCS fitted with the John Cooper Works air intake is due for a filter change. The price from the dealer for the element is crazy, but I don't want to go aftermarket. Any idea on where I will find the factory piece at the best price?

Thanks for the sources. I also found one up for auction on eBay. It closes in like a week, but I can probably wait that long.

Buy it only once: a K&N-type replacement for the JCW airbox. Get performance and save money...
