Are these prices fair or am I getting hosed by the dealers?  |
Yes. BMW's MSRP is $39.95 for the part alone, this will cancel out #1. Installation time is booked at 1.5 hours. Honestly, I would be very suprised if you could not do this job yourself - is it one of the easiest mods to perform on your X5.
Feel free to email me directly and I'll send you instructions and you can determine if this job is something you want to tackle or not. It may even shave off .5 hour at dealer #2 if you bring him a copy.
