He looked it up and confirmed same labor time as 335i.

Also nothing needs to be done to AC section or recharge Freon.
When I did mine getting the old one out was very easy. Putting the new one in was more difficult. It almost seems like the parts don't line up, but you just have to get in there and jam the shit in--it becomes a pure physical feat really. And make sure you have the lower O-ring and not find it on the ground like I did and have to be Hercules again.

I just don't think I'm mechanically inclined to even do the regular charge pipe. Lol AH3 or not. I'm probably going to let the mechanics do it.
