M-Performance Brake Install on G20 330i. Highway Robbery
I recently reached out to the parts department at my local dealer to inquire on the cost of M-Perf brakes and the guy got back to me at a cost of about $2400 in parts. Not too hateful I thought, considering Brembo BBK are 1k more than that.
I then inquired further on the labor and the service department quoted me $2500 to install! I’ve seen the install manual for the F series cars and it calls for 3.5(ish) hours of labor plus the coding necessary. What am I missing here? Do they just assume I’m a naive rich person with money to burn? $2500 seems outrageous to retrofit brakes. Thoughts? |

I think they accidentally added one zero too much
I paid about 2k for the M-performance brakes on my F30 and another 250 for the install (in euros). It was an official BMW dealership. That said, the dealership I normally go to (for maintenance) quoted me over 4k |

What else does one expect from stealerships? I’d buy the parts and get it installed from a FNG outside. Or maybe one of the other mechanics at the dealership also wanted a set and thought he could make you foot the bill for his set? $2500 for labor is insane.

Ever so slightly off topic: Did you have the blue M-Sport brakes from the factory?
I've seen a handful of European based BMW parts stores with the following caveat: Quote:
Thanks for any info you can provide! |

I did not have the M-sport brakes but my 330 is an M-Sport package. I just didn’t opt for the track handling add on. The 19 inch wheels definitely make the retro fit possible. Not sure if the M Performance brakes work with the smaller wheel size or not. Regardless, I determined that the look of the big calipers isn’t worth the cost of maintenance down the road. Looks like brake service would be roughly 3x the cost for parts. I don’t track the car so I came to senses. Sigh |

Is there a retrofit out there for the blue calipers? Or would that not be worth the hassle? |
