E92 Brake Job - Why So Expensive??
I'll throw this out to the group, since I'm seemingly stumped. I've got an '07 328xi that I'm about to do brakes on. Turner's got a bundle deal, 4 rotors, front and rear pads, sensors, and shipping for about $450ish (which is about $150ish cheaper than BAS).
I've been shopping around locally to find someone to put them in for me. (All of my trustworthy mechanics are up in MA, and I moved down to VA a few months ago.) I found one place that seems to have a lot of bmw's and benz's in the lot, and he wanted $300 for the labor ($150 front, $150 rear.) I called a local Pep Boys, and they gave me almost the same figure. When I asked why it's so much more than on any other car, all he could way was "it's just the way it's designed." Does that seem right? Money aside for a moment, is a brake job on an E92 really a 4 hour job??
