I couldn't find anything under $600 for the install and that is with my parts. I decided to do it myself with the help of a mechanic friend of mine. It took longer than I expected. We dropped the entire axle out and that made it much easier to get at. Everything went back together without issue. I haven't had a chance to drive it yet but judging from all the posts, I will not be disappointed.
I just had my FRPP 4.10 gears put in (prob w/ whine, working on that) however, I am still breaking them in, however, I do believe there great for a DD, there fun around town, I just wish I had a 6th gear when I'm doing 80mph.
Cant wait to hit the track w/ them...
Not having to downshift to pass on the highway owns. Silly little beemers and G30-somethings wouldn't even know what to think if I wasn't outrunning them in 5th gear.

Hey hey hey now beemers are BMW Motorcycles and BIMMERS are BMW CARS we BMW guys take affence to that...........
I called our local dealer who quoted $1200 for gear with installation. When I told him I could get it done for about $500 he said that is the cost of the fluids alone?
Well I made the appointment to have them done next monday morning!! They wrote me out a quote for $350 in labor so I think I haggled them pretty decent considering they first quoted me $650

Ya, 5th gear fun and all. But I had to try 3rd @ 63ish-mph, which put me around 4500rpm and whatever was passing me, wasn't shorty after...lol, that was fun(car pulled is all I can say). This could be a bad thing, I hope my radar on top of its game.
