Im in the quoting phase of this job and curious how a CA resident is getting a quote of 200 for 3 hours or work?!
I would have to assume the minimum shop rate around CA for a performance shop is at least 100 an hour... Like the OP, i've just enquired PTech but no quote quite yet. Are you in SoCal? |

Yes, 3 hours of labor for $200 in Cali is pretty amazing. I can't remember exactly how much I paid, but it was in the ~$350 range. I just remember I was quoted something higher, and I paid something lower because the shop had done so many of them.
It's honestly hard to gauge the time though, because there are often 2 guys working on the car at the same time. I think the install is very similar across the F8X platforms: M2, M3, M4. |

If you need the referral to the shop in LA hit me up. Any doubt, ask Ron about the referral in LA. There are plenty of performance shops in Socal. You just need to negotiate and find the ones who are willing to take the job. Do you always pay what the shop is asking and never bargain?

The issue isn't the complexity of the install, the issue is all of the parts you have to remove to get to it and all of the bolts that are single use - that adds up in terms of cost.

Here's what I have so far: BMW shifter replacement parts - 3 Hex bolts (26117527475) - 3 Self-locking hex nut (26127536563) - And a note saying that the flex disc can remain attached to front of driveshaft when removing (although I have no idea what that means or how it impacts parts required).

From what i've gathered, you've essentially negotiated 150 or so off unless the shops rate you've gone to is far less than 100 an hour. Which to me a typical performance car shop in CA, (socal or norcal) is wildly cheap if the rate is less than 100+ an hour. Perhaps theres a difference with south to north prices or the caliber of the shop.. maybe. I did not ask Ron for suggestions of shops yet as I have a long standing history with Ptech and figured to ask them first. In terms of negotiating price, no I don't typically do that. |

If the driveshaft is removed from the flex disc and the flex disc remains attached to the transmission flange, you will only need 3 hex bolts and 3 self locking nuts as listed above If the flex disc is removed from both the driveshaft and the transmission flange, then you should replace all 6 hex bolts and 6 self locking nuts I also think it is a good idea to replace the following to avoid any exhaust leaks The 2 exhaust gaskets (18307851168) The 4 exhaust collar nuts (18307597650) If you want to do everything "by the book" it is also recommended to replace the exhaust hanger nuts and bolts, but I think that is unnecessary and overkill unless your car was older and/or there is corrosion present |

Very informative thread. And thank you for the documentation links.
Performing a DIY on shifter seemed possible until I read the propeller/drive-shaft TIS. That’s something I dont think I have the confidence to mess with.. yet. For anyone that has attempted to do this without removing the exhaust and driveshaft, was it a bloody knuckle issue, or simply impossible? S

It took quite a bit of wiggle room but in the end I wiggled it out. I had some confidence in that my friend did the same on his M3 so he was sure that it's doable. |
