I called all BMW dealerships in the Portland/Seattle market, and called 8 indepedents... and received estimates between $300 and $700.
Luckily, the guy I take it to routinely quoted me $330, so it goes to him!
It might be worth the trip to you (Seattle was the most expensive at dealerships) if you can't find anyone willing to do it for under $400.
Good Luck

Thanks for getting back to me. I found a former BMW dealership mechanic who was able to fix it for $90 labor and bought the aftermarket Left Front regulator for $80 on Ebay for a total of $170 installed. I did assist in the install which was great because I got a chance to see how it all goes together and might venture to do my own next time.
If you are interested in taking your car to him, he is in Smokey Point (50 minutes north of Seattle). Since he just did mine, yours would probably only take 1 hour instead of the 90 minutes it took us.
