front door actuator/solenoid E53 question

does any other bmw car front door solenoid/actuator fit the E53?
ie 5 series etc

The scrapyards on eb*y are mostly sold out of "front" door lock actuators
and those left are overcharging for like 16 year old parts without warranty
as soon as BMW is entered the scrapyards think "fools with money"

Thanks all

The problem with that is like going to another tree to get out of the rain. Put in a with part it's a total crap shoot I'm going to rebuild mine as they fail. $12-14 for three two motors.

Nope. Only on the X5. It's specific to the shape of the door
You might find the internal "guts" can be used from other similar models, but there is no breakdown of the internals.
