[QUOTE=Manny_World;13691111] Forty something dollars for the part, over $1,200 for labor. Plus other work done bought the bill up over $2,200
. Let me add that was the last time my car went to the service department. The internet is full of information, as long as you put aside time (and money on the right tools), just about everything can be done at home. For the money that I spent at the dealership, I could have got a set of upgraded turbos. Even if anyone need something done and I don't know how to, I'll be willing to learn and help figure it out with you.

Good God. Yeah that def sucks, much rather buy upgrades with that money!!
E46s any more or less difficult to mess with than an E90? I know newer cars tend to make things more difficult to get to as if almost to force you to take it to the dealer LOL. E46s are luring too since that body never gets old, for under 10 grand it leaves me plenty of cash to spend on preventative maintenance since it'll surely have higher miles maybe even mods.
any e46 guys here? just wondering
