        I think I got mine through a site that's no longer around, but there's a ton of them - blunttech, ECS, Tischer, bmw of south Atlanta, etc.

          ok did some searching and price shopping, $ 632.00 shipped is the best price I've found. Since this is an OEM part, discounts cannot be too deep on this. If anyone can add to this price search please let me . I'm ready to pull the trigger on this buy . 91' 325 Ix thanks , Joe

            That's how much I paid about a year ago. My guess is you're not gonna save much more than that unless you repair it yourself.
