I just bought my first E30 a few days ago! It's a beautiful 1991 325i, (automatic). I took it to Les Schwab to have them check out a sort of grinding, wobbling noise. They told me that the front driver's side wheel bearing needed to be replaced and quoted me about $400 for parts and labor.
They told me that the labor part would only cost about $60. I've been looking up prices for the necessary parts, and they don't seem to be more than $80. This doesn't really make sense to me. Does this seem like an accurate quote? Could I just do it myself and save $300 in the process. Is it one of those repairs in which, as long as you do it right, there isn't too much chance of seriously screwing something up?
Thank you guys for your insight into this issue! Any comment on it is welcome!
