Need new Convertible top motor for E46

[Berkeley]

I have a 2004 330 convertible that had clugged drain holes in the convertible top compartment. This causes the trunk to flood a number of times. I took it to J&F and got the drain holes unclogged. They also replaced the module that controls the buttons that raise and lower the top. After that they found out that the convertible top motor is flooded and that I need a new one. They quoted $1,500. Is there anyway to get the job done for less somewhere else?
