All I have to say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the final price for replacing my SMG Clutch on my 04 545i is.................$1,000.00 / dealer 2,100.00
And I was thinking of getitng the extended warrenty fro $2,500.00 / not worth it.
This car drives better than new, and the workmanship is F@#$K amazing.
Like tha car came off the assembly line, and bran spanikin, new. Now we need to relax on the shifting fro about 1500 miles and then we should be ok.
Deffinitly recommend to anyone.

Awesome!!! Your freind must be better than the average gas station garage mechanic. I'm not sure I would leave my car in the hands of the gas station garages here in the La inland empire...but then again, maybe there is some diamond in the roughs out there?

It's funny because when I was there last week, he was getting calls from Ralley BMW, who is supposed to be one of the bigest dealers, the mechanics were calling him for information on what the issue is with cars.
He takes seminar classes like every 6 months to stay upto date with all the BMW's, Merc... He drive a no joke 04' m3. But he wont tell me his secret.
