    I got quotes of $6,500-$7,000 to replace the shocks. Gonna do it myself and get them rebuilt. Will only be about $3,000 then...

    HOLY HAND GRENADE! 3k to replace and rebuild the shocks?!That seems a bit steep... mine was 1/3 that much...


    on another note
    Does repair include performance parts?

    If yes them my suspension... upwards of 2k I'm guestimating

    If no then it was my clutch... about $700-850

    healtoit, did you do the suspension yourself or does that include labor costs?

    Seems like it was $4K+ to replace the EDC shocks on the M5 Wagon a few years ago. Doesn't the M-Sport have the same EDC setup?
