My Ride: 07 530i Mystic Blue
I've done this also as a DIY as well. As Allen mentioned - anyone can do this. I'm a noob when it comes to DIY, but was able to do this in 15-20min.
In my case, when I called two dealers with the part number however, their quoted price was more than ECS's price inclusive of their high $20(?) shipping price. I think I paid around $60 and dealers quoted me ~$70. I could understand why the shipping was high - it comes in a box size of your rear window to prevent from the seal breaking or bending. I was expecting it to arrive in a small box and was a bit surprised.
If $30-$40, that's a great deal at the dealership. Still at the price I paid at $60 or so, I am pleased with the investment.
I would advise future DIY person to use some soap water on the edges when installing as it makes it easier to fit.
