Installation cost for KW V3? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

pwdrskr · 08-10-2008, 01:36 PM

I am one of the lucky first few who is eagerly awaiting the arrival of my KW V3s from Modbargains. As I sit here in anticipation, I am wondering what I can expect for installation costs?

Give Pom@200mph a ring. He installed my Kw v2 and quoted me so cheap.

thr33fivei · 08-10-2008, 07:32 PM

oh, you live up north.

jimmy330xi · 08-10-2008, 10:26 PM

can someone just give us an idea of whats a reasonable price for the installation. I was also asking myself the same question as the OP. Just a general ballpark of what to expect.

The store I bought mine from gave me free install

I wanted a general idea. $500? $700 $1000?

I priced installation of H&R sport springs and was quoted ~$500-$600 including alignment. Wondered if the KW V3s would be the same or more and if that was reasonable.

Thats a rip off. i paid $130 to install springs on my old car. seems like the going rate now is around $150-200. without alignment that is.

Thats more like it. That price seems reasonable.

Wow. I dont think you should pay $500.00 to install a part that cost $200.00.

I have mine install at MachIII in san francisco about 9 months ago. not $900, not $700, not $500, it's even lower and that's included alignment. I don't know if there is any change with their price now. so just give them a call. look for ray.

BMW E90 · 08-11-2008, 04:22 PM

$400 or so including alignment would be a good price.

Ferg · 08-11-2008, 06:05 PM

That's what I was told $400 and some change for install and alignment, if I ever get mine right Kenny, LOL!

A really good install place will charge about $400, and this will include corner balancing and alignment.

It should be here any day now. They were shipped out from Germany about 2 weeks ago. I bet everyone is anxious for theirs since the V3 has been on backorder for so long.

I've had mine installed for $200. I think that's not too bad at all

jgalaxy · 08-12-2008, 01:50 AM

Mine took 4 hours to have installed. Unless you track the car corner balancing is not required. Depending on how slammed your car is you may also suffer some negative camber.

AJ 335TT · 08-12-2008, 12:29 PM

Paid 500 for mine with corner balancing. Probably paid a bit much but all the good shops in Seattle were charging the same.

But...where did you have it done?

:

Vudoo4u2 · 08-14-2008, 01:11 AM

$400 to have it done right

08-14-2008, 01:18 AM

300$ + alignment...... and balancing soo yeah.... around there seems right. NY shops tend to charge the most....... but a job done right is where it counts

Gary@RENN-Spec · 08-14-2008, 06:26 PM

Installation should be around $350-$450! Here in socal, we charge $350 for install on the Xi's.
