E92 M3 Quote Check

[BostonM3]

I have a 2008 E92 M3 DCT with 50,000 miles and got a quote for following items to be replaced at a reputable BMW shop:

Spark plugs
DCT fluid replacement
Rear diff fluid
Coolant
Power steering fluid
Brake fluid

Total is about $850. Does this sounds fair? All BMW fluid and parts to be used. Also, any additional items I should be aware of to change at 50,000 miles?

Thanks for the help.

That seems very reasonable to me. My estimate is that just the parts are ballpark $540 (retail pricing). Spark plugs, DCT fluid, and rear diff fluid are expensive for our cars. You are probably being charged 3 hours labor total which is very fair considering the spark plugs labor alone is probably 2 hrs. It's going to increase your cost but I would also change the transmission filter at this time.

If you want to save some easy money, you could always get the spark plugs yourself on Amazon for $10 each which would save you $150 from the BMW branded part ($30 x 8). This NGK plug is the exact same as the factory spark plug as NGK is the OE supplier as well.
