Almost a year ago they were on sale.. for dirt cheap too. You'll have to find a buyer that has marked it up for profit if you want any chance of getting this LSD. I paid around 1200 or so for mine; very much worth it.

I have one for sale in the classifieds. Only one of 2 that I can find for sale in the country. The rest sold out during the sale last year as BMW was closing out the inventory.

I am debating keeping it - but if you are interested, PM me. I'm in SoCal.

Tell them they don't need it!! I had my tech (work at honda) just use a crowbar to force the axels off, you don't need the special tool at all.

Does that not risk damaging something?

If the shop says they don't feel comfortable, I would take them at face value. There are a few stories on the forum from guys who had their diffs damaged by shops who didn't know what they were doing back when they were on sale last year.
But, there were also a couple guys who diy'd theirs without the tooling. One used wood blocks to protect the metal surface while prying the axles out, and another guy who removed a wheel hub to gain more lateral clearance so he could pull the axles out. But both of those guys assumed their own risk and knew what they were getting into. The install for this lsd is more complicated than it used to be and it's not like you can go grab another one if they botch it. There's even some stupid loctite stuff on the input shaft that dries within 10-15 minutes of exposure or something like that, so you want these guys to get it right. I have a pdf of the bmw install procedure if it helps. Maybe try a couple more shops and see if you find one that is better equipped or at least has experience with these. You'll be glad you did in the long run. The LSD is a big improvement to our cars

LSD went in yesterday! another shop that was actually much closer to me did it for $400 with fluid topped off. did the 20 figure 8's and 20 full lock circles each way break in yesterday.

is there any further break in needed? do i need to take it easy on the car for 500 miles or just normal driving? when can i start pushing it hard?

500 mi is the break in period, so the idea is to keep the fluid from getting too hot until you reach 500 by taking it easy on the accelerator.

I don't know about the 335i/435i but I just had the M Performance LSD installed in my AT 2017 340i in January 2020 and absolutely love it. It has completley transformed the handling. I also have the MPPSK and M Performance Suspension.
