Thanks for the responses guys . . . Yeah it seems my BMW specialist do think they're a main dealer! I got another quote from a different Specialist and they quoted around £800 for all the work. I am actually selling the car now though due to a change in circumstances so I'm not sure whether to get it done or not. Hmmmmmm

Trevor, Thanks for moving my post . . . In fact those prices are from a reputable independent BMW specialists . . . that's my dilemma. I guess I could get a second opinion of another specialist but just wondered if there were any other options. I was actually thinking of selling (and possibly upgrading) in the new year as well so not wanting to invest hugely in it. Let me know if anyone has other thoughts on this. Thanks, Rich

Hey, I'm new to the site and wondering where to post about servicing and repair options? I own a 2011 5 Series SE Touring and I have just been hit with a few very expensive advisories on my latest service. So I'm wondering what my options were . . . the advisories are as follows and the prices I've been quoted; -Both front suspension lower arm ball joints have slight play (straight) £880 -Transmission sump pan and electrical sleeve leaking £585 Let me know your thoughts and if the above is reasonably priced or I have other options. On my previous car you could change the ball joints without replacing the entire arm?! Thanks, Rich
