How much for a side light bulb + fitting??
My mate had to go to BMW today for a service as he wanted to keep up BMWFSH any way they pointed out that a side light had gone and needed changing, but COULDNT DO IT TODAY??!!?
So they asked him to book it in and they would do it for him, when he asked how much it was gonna cost he shit himself and told them to do one!
Heres the intresting part,Guess how much BMW wanted to charge him for supply and fit??
And if you hit the exact price ill chuck a fiver to a charity of your choice on my payday.
First 10 posts will count only for the fiver to charity.

ok Here goes ...... in 2007 I was paying Ł100 per hr at bmw in London .... so side light bulb is going to be about Ł25 as it will have a bmw logo stampeed on it then there is the 1 hr to fit it Ł125 by now then there will be the Ł60 charge to reset the electrical diag codes too. so I would guess at Ł125+25+60 = Ł210
now what happens if they tyhen discover that the arial in you rear window doesn't work and have to replave that Ł600 for rear window and Ł200 to fit!
cost for new rear bumper with parking snsors, paint and fit was Ł937 in Ł2006... the man in van should have realised the cctv at my old work was AMAZING....
BMW will try and fit you up for spares... last week Ł36 for BMW pollen filter, OEM replacement is Ł11.50 and a cheapo one is Ł8.30 . BMW brakes were more than 3 times the cost of the PAJID brakes !!!!!

Aparently they wanted to charge him 1/2 labour and the bulb was Ł34
So Oranoco, i think i should honour your guess, whats your charity dude?
Hmm looking at the inc of vat turboRS is probably closer lol

lol thats crazy, ford dealer where i work we fit all bulbs for free but charge retail price for the bulb. It's about Ł15 for a dip beam bulb (h7)on most things and about Ł3 for indicator bulbs/side light bulbs.

Ford h7 (1013711) has a retail price of about Ł15 (i think it's about 13.70 but 15 is a round figure..) that will be focus dip beam. h1 focus main beam is about Ł9 retail.
So for dip and main beam you'll be looking at about Ł24 ish. Ł48 for all four bulbs. One hour is a fit OTT though, ask what the book time is. it'll be something like 0.3 each side and thats being generous.
AGREED!
Kinda pointless without telling us what car? My 7 series you can change a bulb without taking the bumper off.. My m3 you can change the angel eyes but to change the xenon have to remove the complete headlight assembly.
