timing chain tensioner part number wierdness

I went to my local dealer today to get part # 11314609483 for my 2008 Clubman (N12 engine). Dealer handed me a plastic bag with the correct part number on the label, but the number stamped into the bolt was V759789580-02. I asked if they had any documentation cross-referencing that part number with 11314609483. They said no, and that the one they were offering me was the last one in stock. This looked weird to me, so I declined to get it from the dealer and ordered one from Part.com. Anyone else seen V759789580-02?

This just got more interesting. Parts.com reply to my attempted order:

"Hello,

The part number you are looking for is not available for order from any dealer, the bullitin has been open for a couple of months now and the old part number is not in production. I only stock the bolt with the "580" stamp on the head"

So... has anyone been able to purchase 11314609483 lately and from what source? Thanks!
