I had the same problem the first time they tried installing it on my F36, even trying to tell me my car (that I custom ordered) didn't have the adoptive suspension. Amazingly it mysteriously worked on their second attempt after a call with DINAN support. :

Mine was 1500 all in. Springs, bumpstop, install, and alignment. Just parts alone is $486 usd (620 cad). Labor is 4-6 hours (500-750 according to Dinan labor rates) then alignment (dealer charges $200). So 1425 isn’t bad

1500/1425 is terrible! You got ripped off hardcore. Never ever have your dealer install anything, their labour rates are ridiculous.

It takes max 2-3 hours for install, I paid my indy garage 225$ taxes in at 75$ an hour to install my springs.

In total with parts and alignment I paid about 950$ (600 springs and bumpstops+225 labour+125 alignement)

Maybe my response was unclear, they quoted me 425$ CAD for the springs & 1425$ CAD for the labor...

Oh my god!

1425$ for the labour?!

What are they doing, installing new axles at the same time?


Yeah, way overpriced hahaha, bring it to a indy, they should be able to do it in 3 hours max, they normally charge between 75-125$ depending.

Wow $75 hourly rate is awesome. There aren’t any reputable bmw indies for that in my area at the time
