I wonder how many of us are going for airbag replacement and the dealer is going to use it to try to get us into $3k of repairs or a new X - After my last dealership fiasco I will be probably personally watching the tech replace my airbag from start to finish.

Happened on my Acura. That was the exact amount $3000ish same as another person seems to be the magical number.

For my M5 i told them replace the bag and thats it. no lift, no tech inspection, and certainly no wash.

So what your saying is that they quoted you a number of other service items outside of the recall repairs done to the vehicle? Is this correct?

Thats correct. Everything from motor mount to seals etc. Ironically saw no evidence of it when i was under the car literally the night before and again right after I brought it home.

What they also didnt know was I had the TB done within 200miles at a honda dealer and nothing was mentioned and the tech from Honda came out to tell me how nice it is to work on such a well maintained and clean car for a change.
