Window Actuators Poll - How many?

I replaced 4 in my '01 (since retired). The ironic thing was that it wasn't 4 as in all 4 windows, the driver door broke twice. I started at the driver door, then 3 months later did the passenger rear, then 6mon for the driver rear, and then back to the driver front in another 4 mon. Got quite quick at it...

I sold the car to a girl who works at my office 2 years ago with 95k miles. She has since put another 15k on it (drives very little) and has had no reg problems (fortunately).

There have been discussions on other threads in regards to rebuilding or where people have purchased them, ebay vs some BMW specific online stores, etc. Where were you purchasing yours?

At the stealership. Probably not the best place, but it is only a few miles from my house and when a window is stuck half down (or half up to the optimistic) it made sense. I think I paid just over $100 for each.
