My Ride: 2007 530i, Steptronic 6, Silver Gray, Black Dakota leather, Anthracite wood, Premium pkg, Sport pkg, Cold Weather pkg, Premium Sound, pro nav, Active Steering, Park Distance, folding rear seats.
I asked my dealer what parts and labor for
1. Two red reflectors for the rear of the US BMW (6.10 Euro each)
2. A complete snap in set and cradle for the Nokia 6230i cell phone (Snap in is 64.74 Euro, Aufnahme ?Admission ? is 14.30 Euro, Ablageschale ?File bowl? is 41.50 Euro, and the eject box is 73.60 Euro
3. and the wood poplar gear shift knob, is 101.29 Euro,
Total of 356.87 Euro (for part)s = $452.00
Labor for 3 ? hrs is 270 Euro = $343.00 (labor)
Total in dollars is $789.00??? For parts and labor.
Did anyone pay that much for snap-in cradle and parts?
Is this a good deal?
I think the price for labor is a little to much what do you think?

1 & 3 shouldn't be any longer than 15-30 minutes.
They are probably just looking in their lists and it says how long it can take. But ask them to charge only what they really have in labour time, not what BMW recommends... And then wait for the car.

You own a BMW. Of course you're getting ripped off. Love hurts.
