Does anyone know how much is labor to install a lowering springs for a 535XI? From what I gathered here in the forum that install should be know more than $300. I got a quote from a shop in Denver and they are charging me $750 to install + the price of the springs + alignment. Does this sound too much? Here is the shops website for anyone who is interested.

I was originally quoted $700 from a BMW/Porsche specialty garage. I then got a quote for $500ish, before finally stumbling upon a place that did it for $300 w/o an alignment. It really depends on the area and how many places are competing for your business. Having said this, I'm not sure if the job is more involved for AWD models, so hopefully others will chime in...

just like jdoug550 said i think it is a a little bit more difficult install on Xi because of the all wheel drive but 700 is too expensive dude for ur car aim around 500
