I took the fronts to a shop. Cost $300 to install the fronts + alignment.
I also did GC camber plates. If you are doing the fronts, get new mounts.
If you get new mounts, get camber plates. Even if you don't plan to play with the camber, they cost like the stock bearings.
Yes, $2300 is a rip. I also have an M5 E60 and I know what that car costs for parts. LOL. $2300 is not the right number.

Good point on the camber plates! Everything in the towers is getting replaced. I bought new top bearings/mounts as well. Everything is laying in the garage to be thrown in. But let me take a quick look at the camber plates before I pop those in. Then again, a Sachs set was 30 bucks at rockauto.com! And I now have all my own tools, so when I want to change it in spring 2018, it is just a matter of a few more hours. The beauty of owning your own tools.
