A word about the prices
I bought most of these parts "on a whim" while at San Diego BMW - my regular dealer is Cunningham. I did not research the prices, since the total amount isn't very high. However, after seeing that I was charged $25 for a gallon of coolant, and knowing that I paid around half that the last time I purchased coolant at Cunningham, I suspect I may have been suckered. I've given SD-BMW several chances, and this will likely be the last time I spend any money there. Caveat emptor.
