For a project we have a couple of BBB. We have ordered them from Element14 .

The problem we have is that the 32kb eeprom is EXACTLY the same for
boards that have a following serial number.

ex : 4002112 has the same eeprom as 4002111

This is unacceptable for us, as we had planned to use that as a unique
ID  (since it's supposed to be !!)

You might use the Ethernet interface MAC address to identify the units, as it is unique for each unit. I also think the AM335x 1GHz ARM® Cortex-A8 have serial numbers (the Beagleboard prints it to the serial console during boot) which might also be used to identify different units.
