Dealer to install Quaife?

S4to335 · 06-20-2007, 11:15 AM

Well, they offered...and I am taking them up on it..yes, "customer pay" but still..at least they will have the proper shims, correct? Got them to do a flat rate..since I was not too keen on $175/hr shop rate. I think I got a decent deal on it...sorry, not going to post the dealership name..OR the price quoted..since they hooked me up with a "track junkie" price trying to get my business from now on. I gotta admit..the treatment I am getting at this dealership is much better that the previous car manufacturer I use to own. I am actually pleasantly surprised. Keep it up BMW.

And yes, I know my driveline warranty is now null and void.

Update...they arent doing the install..they thought it was an entire diff and housing...they said, and I quote " we dont do brain surgery here". Oh well, back to my original independent shop.

there not hard to install but bmw dosent suply shims to the dealers or the specs to rebuild the diff.

I had the same experience with my dealer. They really tried hard, but they got a big NO from the higher ups in regard to bearings etc.

But, they just told me that they could remove my stock diff..store my car at their dealership...provide a car..help me ship my diff/housing to Koala to get it installed..and then install the new assembly in my car after getting it back from Koala Motorsports. I am considering that now.

The stock diff is ridiculous to rebuild and take apart, they may get half way through and be like.... UH WELL.....

Lucky YOU.
I feel like I did when I owned Audi's.
I'm going to drive by 3 dealerships to have my service done.
And one is only 4 miles from me. Shame......
I love my BMW, but the local Serv. Depts are just as bad as So Cal Audi dealerships were....
