Where to buy Window Motor Gear? Motor OK for 735i

My front passenger window wouldn't roll down. After troubleshooting, I found the plastic gears are stripped. The metal worm gear on the motor is fine and it works OK. I was hoping to find only the plastic gear and housing but can only find it with the motor attached. Any suggestions or where I should buy the whole assembly?

Thanks

What year 735i? Is it an e23 or e32? IF you are unsure, go here

Put the last seven digits of your VIN in there and it will tell you what you've got.

Ebay is great for getting used parts for your car, but you need to know the body code. e23 for 1977-86 7-series for example. e32 7-series followed from 1986 to 1992.

It is an E32, 1988. I purchased a motor with gear and will install soon. The rear windows also will not roll down. Possibly it is the same problem so I will still be looking for the gears only. (New).
