My Ride: 2011 550i AW - every option

From doing a good amount of research and reading online, I'm thinking my brake booster is shot. Pedal is stiff/hard and braking safety is compromised.
How much should I be expecting to pay for parts and labor at the stealership?

Should I pay for an aftermarket part and just have them do labor instead? Need some advice, asap. I'm taking the car in a.m., asap.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Dang its like 3gs to replace. But I have a friend that works at bmw so I got hooked up. If you wanna save money get a used one from a salvage yard. Theres a few webites that sell only bmw parts. when mine went out so did the master cylinder. Hope yours didnt. Lokks like we also have the same car. Check ebay for people parting out cars and check this website or call them http://www.bmrparts.com/

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? 3 GRAND? For what, labor? The parts online are no more than a few hundred!

Parts from the dealer are pretty expensive plus labor. If you could find the parts cheap go thru there. I paid no where near that I got hooked up.
