Price for air flow meter on E46

[jamesmdo]

Anyone got an idea what's a reasonable cost for a new air flow meter for a 2001 318se E46? Had a quote from my garage and seems alarmingly high.

Thx

BMW quoted me around 350, rung a local garage and he did it inc fitting for 150. Only took him 5 mins to fit.

AF meter does take about 5 mins to fit and so easy to do it yourself.

Get the part from GSF

Thanks for your responses - were these prices for original parts (bosch in my case)? I'm getting quoted about £200, but this is from a very reputable indy.

It's a 5 minute job to fit, so anyone who is charging you more than 0.2 hours labour on top of the price of the part they are pulling your pants down.
