$1,399 not! B&B yes. I've noticed that sometimes the TBAs never get A.

Hmmm...D#mn, I would probably rather get the Eisenmann quad exhaust for that price.

BTW, anyone knows how much Dinan charges per Labor Unit?

I am not sure exactly; I was thinking at least $100 per hour. Let me see if I can work this one out. Dinan specifies 8 labor units to install the 545i throttle body. Each labor unit is 1/10 hour as I recall. So, it should take .8 hrs to do the job. My Dinan certified BMW dealer, which is supposed to charge the Dinan labor rate, charged me $92--which gives $115 per hour [i.e., $92 / .8)]. That sounds about right.

Edited given Stream's comments below.

When I started reading your comment, I thought you were going to say $100 per labor unit. I was like...g'lordy!!! $1400 for the exhaust and another $1500 to install it???? hahaha

I believe there are 10 units/hour (Dinan told me it takes ~1.5 hours to install) and they charge $115/hour.

[/quote]Yes, Stream, now I recall it is 10 units per hour--nothing as simple as 6 per hour. My edited calculation now gives $115 per hour.
