It is also apparently mounted with aluminum external Torx bolts, which are one-time use. Aluminum. Bolts.

Yea, it isn't cheap. My 1er was covered by CPO, but dealership would have charged ~$1500.
On the e61 its more of a PITA due to working around the x drive front axles (sensing a theme here), and my indy charged ~$1100

I remember when water pumps were well under $100, and any yahoo (like me) with a socket set and tube of gasket sealer could easily do the job. Wasn't all that long ago.
Sub-100K mile replacement, and $1200-1500?? |
