What quotes are you guys getting?

Also he mentioned something about an extra $100 for the intake gasket if it is not supplied with the kit.

At these prices I won't mind taking a 6 hour drive to some BMW dealer in SoCal if I can save a few hundreds.
Outrageous! The installation instructions quote 1.75hrs for pre Nov 2012 plus coding time. My SA quoted me .8hr for coding. Call it 2.5 hrs total....so for $700 your SA is trying to charge $280/hr! I bet it's actually only 1.5hr total actual work; I will work to negotiate it down to the same hourly rate I paid to have my exhaust installed. Don't drive to another dealer, just negotiate, the SAs have as much leeway to negotiate as the CAs.
