Part number for coolant tank?

Anyone know where I can purchase a new coolant tank for a 2006 Cooper S? Part number would work too. Or the BMW interchange number. I've bought from Tischer Auto before, but you can't search for MINIs. The seam on mine has the nice crusty white indicator all around it and coolant seems to keep disappearing. Figured I'd give this a shot.

Most people go aftermarket for coolant tank replacement. If the coolant is going down and the tank doesn't have an obvious leak or split, I suspect the problem is not the tank.

We carry both the OEM plastic tank and the Forge tank. If you want to never replace it again go with the Forge.
