Angry help locating Bilstein front shock

A couple of weeks back I ordered a set of Bilsteins for my '99 430. I get the delivery within a week! Fantastic I say to myself! Except for the fact that the order was short one front shock . Oh, by the way, the back order on the shock gets it to me in JULY!!! I suppose it is possible that I got the last F4-BE3-2599-H0 in the U.S...but not likely. Does anyone have a supplier that might be able to help me out?

Answered my own question... I call a friend of my that I race with. He owns a company that specializes in race prep and supply of performance parts for Bimmers. He'll have the shock in hand in 72 hrs. For you BMW guys, his company is a good resource. Check out his site - http://www.bmw2002.com/

He seems to have unlimited access to any and all german performance parts. His company is Ireland Engineering Motorsports, phone #(626) 359-7674. Give him ring and perhaps he can set you up.
