don't know i just got the car a month ago and i discovered the problem during the PPI

If your X6 has over 80,000, certainly over 100,000 miles, it is time to rebuild the front and rear suspension. Since you just purchased the X5, I guess it would be safe to assume you intend to keep it for awhile. You can see the part prices and the parts needed at Bavauto. Labor hours depend on who will be doing the work. Members in your area can provide you a range. Find the best Indy shop with the best reviews. If you can't afford to both ends at once, I would do the front first.

X5

I'm at 106,000

so i went to another shop and got a new quote or some other things

water pump... 110
thermostat... i already have
coolant... 75
labor...350

thrust arms...390
front ball joints... 120
labor... 350

tensioners belts and pulleys... 320
oil filter housing gasket...450
valve cover gasket...350
oil change...110

so after tax and everything it came up to about 2,858 but decided to do everything for 2,450 and promised everything could be done the same day drop by 9 done by 5

what do you guys think of this

Since the first shop didn't provide you with a written estimate and a break out of the cost for each item, I would asked them to provide a written estimate and item list of the work that will be performed for $2450.

You can show him the second shop estimate to make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Having been in the construction business for 40 plus years it better to get everything in writing at the beginning instead of standing before Judge Judy at the end.

im not even worried about the first shop because they wasnt doing everything the second shop is doing and its the same price

and the second shop claims they are giving me all oem parts

Water pump - $110 sounds cheap....
Oil Filter Housing Gasket - $450 .......WTF

Everything else looks legit for parts prices

thats what i said but he said their shop usually charges 600 for that

i just wanted to find out from u guys if the prices are reasonable viz this is my first bmw
