I would say 4-5 hours job.. Not more then that. We bill 2-2.5 hours for XI DPs and about 1.5 hours for an FMIC Mike |

I'm going in Tuesday for a quote on getting the DP done on my XI, so I'm curious what they quoted you and how long it ended up taking.

Too bad you're not close to me, sounds like a great deal. I'm just hoping not to get ripped off as the only shop I can find has never worked on a 335i let alone a 335xi

Wow. $750 is steep as hell. The shop that did mine took 3 hours but quoted and only charged for 2 for my DPs on my xi. Make sure they drop the subframe. The shop I chose assured me that dropping the subframe wasnt necessary and they ended up fiddling around for a while "trying to make it work".
Enjoy. |
