Thanks Again!

NP, I'm thankful myself that this site is so informative, especially for E53 owners, which are mostly out of warranty (CPO or factory). I'm guessing CCA meant BMW Car Club of America pricing....and I myself had to buy the part at the stealership, but even with my discount (I work for a VW dealership) I still paid $120 CA for the carrier. If you can find a wrecker that'll part with one from a door assy. (they usually won't) then you could potentailly pick it up for ~$50 or so, but for a part that is known to fail, you're better off paying now for a new one instead of later....Good luck!
