Does anyone know where to find them? Or even the individual components?
The OEM BMW actuators are repairable. Every aftermarket actuator I've seen are sealed units. The aftermarket actuator I bought (then returned) had the mounting holes to accept the screws, but they were not threaded. With that oversight, I don't trust the rest of the build either. The brand was on Amazon, APDTY.
The actuators are indeed rebuildable. The broken parts on my units were always the nylon / plastic gears. I found the gears in eBay from a seller called brossautoparts and replaced the gears for my rear door. For my front doors, I purchased the factory units direct from BMW and they had screw mounting holes that had to be tapped. You can purchase the tap from Homedepot for around $7 - 8.

Thanks for that info! Unfortunately, they don't have anything for my particular application. I emailed them to see if they can help me out though.
I'm looking for the internals to a 51227202147 & 51227202148. I thought it'd be way easier to find a parts breakdown of these things! I did go ahead and buy a kit from Bross, it didn't specifically say that it went to my actuators, nor did it specify front or back position. But the verdict is in; the repair kit worked! Thank goodness!
