    Feels like: Rear end falling off! Z4 Coupe / FIXED!

    I dont know, how much would you charge me? I have my friend who is a mechanic. I pretty much pay cost on parts and job was fast. I have no idea what dealer would charge me but probably about 60-70 EUR. You probably would pay 50 GBP I would guess.
