hello members,

I just order a set of black shadow-line trim. it cost me almost $300. I just wanna ask if anyone know how much the dealership might charge for installation. thank you

Majed,

Dude, just do it yourself. It's less than an hour's work, and it'll save you money and hassle. Do a search in the DIY section for "shadowline"

good luck

first thank you for the response

I found this DIY: https://5series.net/forums/topic/282...-line-upgrade/

honestly am not really patient with cars. I know if I do it by myself I'll end up breaking something. I installed the rpi scoop last week, one of the clips on the grill didnt want to come out so i decided to break it. so I dont think its a good idea for DIY. I also dont have time, I got classes and HWs everyday
I hope the labor is not ganna cost more the $100 max I would pay 120

The dealer will probably charge you at least an hour worth of work, likely two. So whatever your dealership charges.

It's a simple enough of an install. I can probably do it in 20 minutes.

the dealer is ganna get the parts on tuesday. before I go there I'll try to take out one of the trims. If i dont find any difficulties I would do it by myself otherwise ill see if my advisor will take care of me this time

It's definitely longer than a 20 minute job, especially never having done it before. With that said, do it yourself. I did! You found the DIY, so just follow it, be patient, and you'll be proud you did it and save the money. Dealer will charge at least 2 hrs labor.

finally I installed the window trims but i still didnt do the left rear door because am waiting for one part left.
It took me some time maybe an hour and a half byt am happy that i saved some money.
this job wasnt for me coz u need to be patient. one of the tools i used was a hammer. i used it to take out the trims since am not ganna need the chrome trims lol.
