  1. That sounds reasonable. Say you buy a new alpine headdeck from repco and get it installed at say rapid radio. They will stand by their worksmanship if fault is in the installation. And if there is a manufacturing fault in the unit then you take it up with repco who will replace it who will then get a refund with alpine. It's not repco or alpine that is at liberty to provide refunds or replacements if you take it to a random sparky who accidentally fried a fuse or wire inside te headdeck while installing it then claims he's not at fault. So I guess bmw is okay to require you to get that sun blind installed at an authorized shop/installer
  2. Variable rates sounds good in theory but in application or practice I doubt it will be very practical. Also the type of work or level of difficulty is different for each mechanic, so for the same job if an expert does it and takes him 1 hour it costs say $100 but a trainee or apprentice does it takes him 3 hours but an hourly rate of say $50. Total $150. Just too difficult to apply. And one rule for all eliminates confusion and arguments between different customers I suppose..
  3. ^ don't know exact figures but roughly starts around $100p/h for a "old model" like an e36 then maybe upto $200 for a f30? Someone else will probably clarify this pretty quick
  4. Hmm black does take away the nice spoke detailing of the style 32s.. Maybe lighter grey or you could try a two tone with silver lip and gunmetal spokes/centre?
  5. Saw this some up on Facebook on a buy and sell cars page for $6k ono. It's been up there for a few months at least
