It's really ridiculous that a job that should take 15 min. took an hour because I had to make a trip to the hardware store to buy a dremel tool since BMW does have replacement parts that don't fit properly.

My next one won't take more than 20 min. + $68 for the part.
Looks like the lens is all cracked now??
