The only problem that I see with the math above is that labor isn't broken out for the dealership. We -know- that stealer labor is high, but we also know that stealer techs get BMW training that many Indy's do not. Whether that makes it a fair labor charge is obviously up to the customer. As ref'd the tires should be removed from the mix, I know Ford has run a couple specials on tires, but typically common knowledge, Not the place to buy tires, let alone Those tires, lol. So a comparison to a diff brand..

I'll trust that the parts list is actual parts charge and that there was a line specifying labor.. as written, it seems that the prices are listed 'installed'.
