I'm afraid that's not quite true Simon, the official replacements are ordered from VIN and arrived precut and coded from BMW in Munchen via XPart.
Genuine Valeo cases are available provided you know where to look, and after all BMW purchase the key from a third party, ie Valeo, and don't make them in house
The supplier is not what you would expect, however I'm not going to divulge that information for obvious reasons.
What I will say though, is you can't buy them for a couple of quid each from eBay
