What is this black rubber boot at the gas tank inlet? I could not find this in the real OEM.

That looks like a "repaired", or attempted repair of the gasket around the fuel filler neck. Part #

Type that number into realoem and it will pull up the part with picture
 
And as suggested before, given the $49 shipping fee, may be worth doing a large purchase consolidated with others near you to defray some of the cost.
 
David, you have a couple of options - buy more stuff to lessen the shipping impact. w+n prices are generally much cheaper than USA dealers / vendors for real BMW stuff. that being said, there are tariffs ... but even with the tariffs, it is generally cheaper to buy from w+n if you buy enough stuff. the other option is to shop regionally - you are in Michigan and you aren't far away from Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin + PA. many people have put up notices that they were going to order from w+n to see if others wanted to join in and share shipping. some of us have done that with buying things from @TomHom
 
Many of us have chosen to order from Wallothnesch and ship direct to Thom.
Yes, you pay the VAT tax by purchasing from Germany and shipping to Germany, but you do not pay the tariff coming into the United States nor the brokerage fees that UPS forces down your throat. No forms to fill out no storage fees from UPS no dispute fee from UPS.
