The small blanking plate can be removed easily although it will also want to fall inside the door card. The wire should be visible once plate is removed but I would plan on having to remove door card although it is not a difficult job. Yes, BMW parts prices are crazy and not sure if this item would be easily available through usual used part route (basically eBay).
