My Ride: 2009 535xi
Any luck on getting action from BMW on this ? I'm 95% sure my 2009 535xi just had the same fail can't find any shop or individual that has a solid BMW rep to do the job for less that 5-6 hours of labor on top of parts I'm right under 1000 for this . BAV auto has a DIY video and home boy knocks out the whole job in about 45 minute's does not seem that difficult if you have a lift unfortunately I don't... Gotta pay to play I guess

If you are semi familiar with this it can be replaced easily under two hours. There are a lot of hoses and to me this can be a bit confusing. I believe the book hours call for around 4-5 hrs. I person I know charged me around 200 to change to and I think that was a very good price. If I have to pay dealer prices I would do it myself.
