But nothing like a tube for the cable unless it's part of the cable itself.

Look at http://s314139393.online.de/Artikelb...0/DSCI2882.jpg, are you sure it's not part of the cable?
And does http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=27419 help?

Yes I have seen the thread of the rear battery install. In fact that is what I followed when installing the battery into the rear. Its possible that you only get the plastic bolt down cover for the battery cable in the 323ti when you buy the cable, but is is generally not how BMW does things.
