Does the price for this job on my 2003 BMW X5 3.0i seem reasonable?

Hi,

I recently took in my 2003 BMW X5 3.0i to my independent German car specialist repair shop, and I was told that the brakes need to be replaced. The estimate came to about $2,058, and here was the breakdown:

a) Brake Caliper - Front Left Friction Ready (1 of these for $345)

b) Brake Caliper - Front Right Friction Ready (1 of these for $345)

c) Brake Disc - Front (2 of these for $165 each --> $330)

d) Brake Fluid LV - 1 Liter (1 of these for $30)

e) Brake Hose - Front (2 of these for $63.20 each --> $126.40)

f) Brake Pad Sensor - Front (1 of these for $23.50)

g) Brake Pad Set - Front w/Shims (1 of these for $135)

h) 4 hours of labor for : Replace both front calipers with new fluid lines and front rotors, pads and sensor --- includes flushing and bleeding of system) -----> (4 hours of labor at a total of $560).

Therefore, when adding all these above attributes up + tax, it comes to a total of $2,058. As a result, I just wanted to check in with you guys and ask, do you guys think overall this seems reasonable to you? Also, would you guys say that this price seems significantly cheaper than if I were to take the X5 to a BMW dealer and ask for the same job to be done?

Thanks in advance!
