Fried Amplifier, Need a Replacement

I just got this car about three weeks ago. It's a 2003 Z4. With the standard audio system I guess. The stereo never worked. After getting other service work done on the car I got it back this week. I finally got around to removing the amplifier from behind the battery. It looks like at some point there was about 1 1/2 inches of water in the compartment. That corroded the bottom part of the amp beyond repair. I called the BMW dealership and ask about a replacement amp. They gave me a price of $550. I tried Bavauto and they quoted me $475. Is there a cheaper and or better place to get one from?

It has we Lear corporation stamped on it and the part number is 65.12 6929689.

Same thing happened to me, did you find a solution or did you replace with aftermarket amp?

Bought this one 65129143127 @ ECS 6 weeks ago but I needed the top hi-fi amp. It was special order so non-returnable.
I will sell for $300 plus shipping

Need an AMP

Water fried my Z4's amp and I am having a difficult time locating a replacement. The amp is for my 2004 Z4 and the part number is
65.126938189
It seems that this is a rare amp so if anyone has a good source for a used replacement or that amp please let me know

Parts listed as exchangeable should fit, namely 8102 which is pretty common.
