I think I paid less than $50 for the part at GetBMWparts.com
The door panel does not have to be removed to replace it. Simply pry up on the plastic piece using a plastic trim removal tool with a credit card under it to protect the leather around the door pull. After it comes out, you will have to disconnect the power window buttons. Then you have to move the electrical box for the windows from the old trim piece to the new one by releasing several tabs. Need to be careful doing that since the tabs are very small and fragile.
