Seems very expensive for BMW. I guess that's why our cars are so expensive.....they know something or another will break??

BMW doesnt make convertiable tops.. They have the entire assy shipped in complete.. When it fails they pay the dealer to replace the entire thing, and then they send that part back to whomever they purchased it from and recoupe some expenses..
There are way to many variables in that kind of repair to have the technicians do it.. Its overall better to replace an assy. That is whay BMW does not let a dealer rebuild a transmission...ZF and GM want them back whole to see how it failed and to rebuild them themselves.
In the end, Its not a "WASTE" just most dont know what goes on behind the scenes...
