I think I am going to take a chance on their carrier part, because:

2) I see they have a lot of other BMW replacement parts, so I may choose to use them for other parts as well.
I appreciate the advice for OEM and normally that is what I like to buy. Hopefully I won't be saying 'you told me so' later...

I've never dealt with KOOLMAN, so no comment on that.
If you don't want to pay top dollar for OEM which is poorly designed and going to break again, like window regulator, I would suggest you to get it from reputable brands and reputable store.
When I replaced mine, both driver and passenger, I bought FEBI from rmeuropean.com with great success. Substantially cheaper than OEM.
