I had to pay the taxes, there were no "shop fees" or "diagnostic fees" that's probably up to the shop. More than half of the cost was labor ($225/hr, SF Bay area), these were the only parts over $100:
Rear axle: $3415
Drive Shaft: $1780
Turbo pressure converter: $191
Everything else was gaskets, bolts, fluids, etc nothing over $100.
So I paid about $1000, about $500 was tax and the rest due to the blue book cap. Still, while I'd expect no pushback on the obvious failures of the pressure converter and drivetrain, I was pleasantly surprised that the expensive oil leaks were covered, since those seems to be a common issue to expect to pay out-of-pocket as these cars age. Again, my BMW SA said they were great to work with, though diligent in sending someone to see the car before the work and again after.
