I have searched everywhere for the part number or name of this yellow pull cable

I am replacing my drivers side lock actuator and need new pull cables . I find the interior pull cable everywhere but I can't find this damn exterior yellow pull cable .

Anybody know the part number ? Or where can I buy it . Thanks

Everything I find shows that bowden cable as part of the outside door handle carrier, which is part #51217044839.

Here’s the RealOEM diagram: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho.../bmw/enUS/showparts?id=AN37-USA-09-2000-E46-BMW-325i&diagId=41_1354#51217044839.
And here’s the part from FCP: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-carrier-outside-door-handle-front-left-51217044839.

For example:

That video playing in your first attachment is from Bimmer Merchant and you might be able to find the cable sold as a separate item from them or other auto dismantlers.
