Great, thanks for the info.

Is there a used market for these components or is my only luck buying new?

I would look around, you might find it. Another option if you go coils, kW-v1, similar price point or maybe even a but cheaper.

Look around in the classified on this forum and craigslist or is there another BMW marketplace for used parts that I don't know of?

Regional forums have classifieds that are "unclassified"

Pretty sure they just meant to check the regional sub-forums on this site. I myself go to the PNW section for stuff like that. Have bought quite a few things from members on here that way.
