Dipstick part number?

I couldn't find the dipstick part number for a 2003 MC. I checked realoem, but no luck. If anyone knows the part number, it would be a huge help! Thank you!

I'm sitting in front of my ETK, so the part numbers are only a few clicks away. Glad I could help, and you're welcome, anytime.

I just ordered a brand new stock dip stick from MINI Mania.

Craven Speed also makes one that seems less likely to break than the OEM stick. - in Red, Black, or Silver.

Pelican sells the OEM dipstick for $17, you would be into your 5th before you spent the $75 that they ask for the Craven stick!

Sure, but you would have had to retrieve the broken-off piece from the crankcase four times...

I have over 100,000 miles, and this was the first time it broke. I regularly use it too. It only broke because I was smart enough to set something relatively heavy on top of it. I ordered it from pelican parts about 15 minutes after Partsman gave me the part number and it arrived today. That was pretty fast. How do people break them so regularly?
