Top Motor

Just thought I would FYI you all on this one...

I think my top motor is gone. Just called the stealership and their quote was $1,000 for parts and $780 in labour (6 hours times $129).

I asked them what parts they were including...motor, hydraulic kit, cover(insulation) as it turns out. I looked up the exact parts on getbmwparts.com and it came out to less than $500. With a bottle of new fluid just in case the total comes out to $522. Consider that I am headed to Michigan next weekend and I can get the parts with no HST or duty...maybe $550 all in including shipping (probably less). The $1,000 here would wind up as $1,130 including taxes.

Gee, wonder where I will get the parts.
