Be prepared for it taking all day and getting a fun loaner meanwhile, lol. Make sure--make double sure and verify on your own--that they order the PPK according to your exact VIN. If just one digit is off, your car will not take the upgrade and they will have to re-order everything.

Lastly, talk to some of the parts guys at the dealer. They may hook you up with a discount like they did me ($680). Bring up the fact that it used to cost $500 when released at first.
Very, very nice write up bro. Been looking to this to my mine aswell. I got a quote for $704.08 plus $167 for labor at my local bmw dealer. What you think? I know its been 2 years now since your upgrade. How is it holding up?
He's long gone...
