eBay is your friend.  Do a search on BMW K100 Spark plug wires and you will find both used and new sets and individual wires.  I recently purchased a set of new aftermarket NGK wires for $40. 

James Sherlock is a breaker in your part of the world who has a lot of K100 parts.  You might want to check them out.

Make sure you get 5ohm resistor caps or you will damage your ignition control unit. As stated by TMG NGK a good cheap source, going OEM will cost you an arm and a leg.

Like Martin and The Mighty Gryphon said, search around the forum and ebay. I recently picked up a set of RAM leads for my k100 (~$74 for the set), smooth installation and all the leads were made to the exact lengths so no question about which is which when routing. and they are red so that means they are faster
