Hi volks,

The socket in question is a 12V accessory socket.  The plugs can be
purchased from your local BMW motorcycle dealer or by mail order from
California BMW in Mountain View CA.  I don't have the BMW p/n but here's a
note from Jeff Dean:

Thanks to all of you who responded to me request for info. regarding
obtaining BMW electrical plugs and sockets from John Deere. The parts
numbers were given to me immediately:

For the "50" series John Deere farm tractor:


Accessory Plug -- RE11344
Accessory Socket -- AL25073
I checked locally at a John Deere implement company and found plugs for
$6.59 and sockets for $3.40--both in stock. I go out tonight to see if they
are a match for BMWs' items. I suppose they'll be green!

This setup is commonly used to wire a dc source for heated vests/gloves for
motofolk.
