+1.
Or go to a reputable indy bmw shop that can do the same thing for you for much cheaper. $780 is crazy...
Also, check the rear brake rotors as well, usually they're not that bad and doesn't warrant a replacement yet. As for everything else, again, you can mostly go to indy and get it done cheaper. Heck, i usually purchase all the parts and fluids and ask indy to do it and charge me labor only, you'll save a ton.
Lastly, as another mentioned, if you do go to stealership, get them to replace the Throttle body actuators before they fail if you can. Those babies are expensive now, used to be running around $600-700, now they are going for $1000ish each and we need two.
