My indie is quite good. While he quoted me $300 labor (one side) he will charge less if it takes less time. The job won't be a problem for him at his shop. For me, it would be a PITA.

Looks like the FAG bearings are $85ish for the pair and brand new BMW hubs are $90ish each. Plus a few bucks for new half shaft and tie-rod lock/control arm locknuts and whatnot.
The $450 labor charge is for both sides, so I can't really complain about that. I actually kind of wanted to buy the HF hydraulic punch tool and try it, my issue is time, I just can't spare half of a weekend day to mess with it.
