Dealership out of warranty labor rates
A dealership quoted 5.5 hours of labor to replace thrust arms on my 535i and I thought it was a little high so I called two other dealerships and they quoted 2 hours for the same repair. I brought it up to the dealership that quoted 5.5 hours and he said 2 hours is labor under warranty, my car is out of warranty obviously.
Labor rate is different for warranty vs out of warranty vehicles?? Almost 3 times as much?? Can anyone confirm And this is just thrust arms. Doesn't include alignment etc |

My SA didn't get back to me on replacing the idler pulley and tensioner. I had them replaced at a highly recommended indy for just under $400. They have their hourly rates posted; I don't really remember the other makes, but they charge $135/hour for German cars. IIRC, my dealer is $180. |

Bring the turner motor sport bushings and I will remove, press the new ones in and reinstall for 200 bucks. Or if you are xdrive there are powerflex bushings in the arms for sale in these forums. I will put those in for you if you'd like.
