I went home and looked online shopbmwusa.com and they had it listed for 1309 installed. I called the dealer back up and talked with the parts guy. He said yeah it should be 1309 +tax.
So I went forward with it. Got discount on Labor (They applied my bmwcca membership discount on labor vs parts) and I also deactivated my bmw assist ($300 voucher)

This reflects my experience. When I called and talked to a service advisor they told me a much higher price than shopbmwusa showed. I then called every other dealer in the state, they were all $500 or more cheaper. I called back to state this to the SA but they weren't available and I was put through to parts. The parts guy looked it up and said, yup it says $1600 installed so that's what it is and ordered it for me. So apparently the key is to just talk to parts if you are getting the run around. I don't know WHY the SA tries to add money on top, if they are getting commission for it or what. I was really frustrated with the whole experience.
