Ask them to at least use some of that leaking oil first!
LOL didn't understand what Mr. Tourette was even saying until your comment.

Thanks to everyone. Found a Mech that will do the work for $115/ but still using the "book" for a 3.2 hour quote. But $481 out the door is better than the dealership $863. I figure I'll go with this guy rather than doing it myself and (possibly) messing up my only ride. Thanks again.

OP, unless you just had an oil change and the indy will save and reuse the engine oil, you should budget for an oil and filter change. Which would be the right time for it. Heads up, the N52 is finicky. My indy recommends oil change every 6 months. Which I’ve done since buying this Zed. Since your car is up, ask the indy to check DCT leaks.

But yours has the N54 not the N52 as per the OP's also his doesn't have the DCT, his has the ZF 6 speed.

Don’t let facts get in the way of opinion ! :rofl:
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

It wasn't an opinion, it was a mistake. He then held his hands up to the error.
Maybe you should google the meaning of 'forum', like you google everything else. :|
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
