Suffered a cracked wheel on my drive to vacation. It is an 18" style 124 front wheel for a 2008 535i. Going back home on Saturday. Where can I find a reasonably priced replacement ASAP?

48 hours to find a single wheel? It'll help if you post your exact location. Maybe there is someone with 124 for sale near you.
Other than that maybe a local BMW dealer or online BMW dealer that can overnight it.
Here is someone with a full set in NYC. Probably cheaper than going to a local dealer for single wheel.

Check out ebay too. I doubt the single wheel will cost much but the overnight shipping, my guess around $100, might bring up the cost to what a local BMW dealer around you will charge. You might luck out at a dealer if they have some extra wheels around. Call the parts dept and see what they say.

Have you checked to see if the wheel is repairable? There are several wheel repair shops here in Greenville SC and I've seen wheels that I thought were trash and they can weld then machine etc. Its very impressive.

This is your best option,,,
or you can get a replica wheel for 1/5 of the price - I bought a set of replicas to replace the runflats - never looked back
