Oh well. I changed my mind and bought a BMW part from BMWtopeka.com (or something like that). $111.00 with free 3 day Fed ex ground. Hope to see it by the end of next week. Since this is my first time doing this, I decided that I didn't need more complications. Next time I may try an aftermarket.

I really appreciate the opinions, and the great write-ups on this site.
