I completely agree with the labor cost difference between Indy BMW shop and dealer. And this is not just hourly rate but also how much time they charge you for.
I recently had the windshield washer pump on my wife's E90 replaced. My mechanic quoted me around $130 for parts and labour (1 hour). My warranty company who uses BMW's labor hour recommendations told him to charge them 1.7 hours plus 0.5 hours for diagnostics!
