My 51 330d sport just come back from m.o.t station and they say i need 2 front lower arm bushes replacing. Anyone have any idea of the price of these fitted? Also need emissions lowering but its booked in for an engine service tomorrow so that should be fine.

I'd guess £150 for the bushes doing, including labour, parts and VAT.

The emissions should come down after a oil and filter change, new air filter, a dose of injection cleaner and a good thrash down a dual carridgeway.

You would be able to get Powerflex bushes supplied and fitted for about £100 or cheaper pattern rubber bushes for around £80.

Very easy job and the arms don't even need removing.

Ads for the Powerflex on eBay.

My mate has put me onto a lad who works in BMW dealership near me. He's going to do it for £120 with bmw parts on sat morning when management arent there. So, i dont think thats too bad would rather keep with standard bmw parts. Also going to reset my airbag light for free. Result i think.
