GPU at getbmwparts.com is about $120. Takes about 1.5hrs for a shade tree mechanic to do the swap at a leisurely pace. Replacing GPU can be done w/o removing the intake manifold. You will need good gloves and a large bucket of soap afterwards. Check the operating temperature of the engine to assure the thermostat hasn’t failed as that is one cause of gpu failure.
Been there, done that.... :-)
