THANK YOU.
My 09 E90 didn't have the extension either and I couldn't find a good spacer but the bic pen cap was the perfect solution - perfect fit in the button, easy to cut down to size (I cut it a few mm past where the end of the clip is molded into the cap), and rigid. I wrapped the cap in 2 layers of electrical tape so there was a snug fit into the button and so there wasn't plastic on plastic rattling. I hot glued the bic cap to a rigid plastic sheet cut down to make a "T" to hit both buttons and test fitted it so the detent of the rubber buttons on the circuit board was tight against the button (so the button does not sag).
Done in less than 15 minutes and works perfectly. Why don't we get these functions in the states?
