Help... Helping A Very Good Friend

ok i am not familiar with the 5 series and i tried the 5forum and i get no luck on searching... im posting here since the M3POST are pretty active i usually get response in a minute or so not 3 hours.. LOL Anyways

she has a 2007 528i and she has a problem with her RDC Control Module. i have googled the issue and it sounds like its the main computer for the TPMS.

currently the dealer saying it would cost her $1300 to get it fixed. now my question is, is that even right... $1300 seems way too pricey.

also the module cost around or less than $300..

Thanks in advance.

If it is for tire pressure monitoring system, it does not worth it. I don't think not having it cause any problem. But i am just guessing lol

She is getting jacked. Go with her to talk with her SA and tell them they are on crack. Look at the quote and what she is being charged for each item including labor.

No way ALL those parts need replacing... have them provide a breakdown of what they are replacing.... take a close look at labor charges.
