HMMMM, Garry is 25% off for us, too. I'm guessing that is the best price you'll find?

I dunno if a used one would do you any good. But eBay or Craigslist might be another source if you re desperate.

Unless you have a ton of miles on your car I'd see what help BMWNA would be to share some of the cost or even cover it 100%. I would not expect a starter to fail on a 3-4 year old car unless it spend time under water or was a taxi that was started 50 times a day.
