Hi Dave, welcome.
When my x5 cable broke, I had a bit of a mare as some cables were lhd specific. The bonnet release lever was only listed by bmw as a lhd part number. Go to the local dealership and ask the parts man for the rhs specific one as the codes can be one digit out.
I used to own a bike shop and we used to sell a lot of tandem brake cables with solderless nipples to the Vespa lads as throttle cables. It’s worth asking the local bike shop.
Gear cables or pear ended brake cables fit in the black cable joint on mine.
