BMW e90 FMIC installation Looking to swap out the stock FMIC with aftermarket one. I got quotes from couple of indep shops (CG, dixon, etc) but they were far more then I expected. Does anyone know a good/reliable shop with a reasonable rate? Thanks |
Could you provide us a little more details as to what you were quoted? For example how many hours it would take to do the re/re and rate of labour? CG and Nixon usually go by the book but it would be helpful to have an idea of what you were quoted. |
it isnt easy, and depending on brand, may need to modify front bumper to make it fit, especially if the aftermarket one is larger than stock. |
I was quoted from 3.5-5 hrs with rate @ $100/hr. Most aftermarket FMIC requires a llittle bit of trimming of the shroud but most vendors estimate the installtion time should be around 2 hrs. |
2 hours is a little optimistic. 3.5 to 5hrs is more realistic. |
Which FMIC are you putting in? |
I haven't pull the trigger yet but I'm thinking of AR or ETS or Helix |
Realistically 2 Hours is very optimistic. Especially if there is some trimming that needs to be done. If it just fits in place (uses stock fittings) you should give it a go yourself. It's really not too hard of a job. Just time consuming goodluck! |
the AR one definitely needs trimming... |
