WOW !!!

Not sure how different this is on a X drive but on my RWD, I swapped out the front strut for my coilovers BOTH sides in 2 hours .... by myself.
The rears were also easy, but kinda need another person, That took me about 3 hours.
This is in my garage, no lift or fancy tools.

My mechanic charges about 300-400$ for springs install over all on all 4 corners.

You can reset the TPMS yourself in 2 seconds in the iDrive ........

LOL at 300$ for an alignment, unless you have electronic shit, even BMW doesnt charge that, my local dealer chargers like 150, local shop does it for 90$ total.

I usually pay 25$ per tire / wheel mount and balance at mom and pops corner shop.

What I did was I got myself a new set of TPMS, because I switch between stock wheels sometimes. New set was like 150? (cant remember) just make sure you get the right part number, they change for different years.

but if your gonna go ahead and keep the same sensors, then for 200, thats not terrible, same with the alignment, however, it doesnt take more than 1 hour ...shit takes max 45 mins.

As far as spring install, keep looking, like i said buddy charges 300-400 for the whole job.
