For those who have read about the difficulties of extracting these babies from the transmission, before you go and rig up something elaborate, try taking the easy route. I wrapped some electrical tape around the jaws of a channel locks plyers and mine pulled right out with only a moderate amount of effort.
And for removing the round gear it’s a screwdriver behind the gear for tension and sharp blows to the output shaft.
Never pry on the actual ”teeth” of the gear.

23121630150 measures 30X42X25 (nla)
23221224469 measures 30X42X2.55 which still can be ordered.
I think the difference (half a mm) is small enough where it can be a valid substitute

Nope. Too skinny. I know; I bought a couple from a Getrag 242 to put in a 265.
According to RealOEM it fits all of these cars, even 265/5 and 265/6 and even some automatics.

Trust me, I had to sell them both because they were too skinny:

maybe the drive part is the same, but the other part where the o-ring goes on is way diff.
The mystery is solved, there are two different adapters as BMW calls them.
This shim can probably work as well:
