230 for plugs is a lot considering it's only about 1/2-1 hour of labor for the average joe (not sure what they actually bill for), plugs are generally 80-100 bucks for OEM BMW

Coils have to be pulled anyway to do plugs, so it's really no additional labour. Same procedure when re-using the old ones with the exception of new coils being removed from the packaging. Regardless, determine the cause prior to just throwing money at it
