It is.

Perhaps the OP will return with an explanation - either of what his dealer says the $500 includes, or a more reasonable quote from another dealer.

Nope the guy just said to update the i drive and the nav so it won't try and kill me was $500.
He was even taken back by the price. REALLY! $500...how do you say suck my left nut BMW in German!
I mean really! I had my VW and every time i went in they would update the CPU free of charge and all the other bits that needed it while the car was under contract.
And those breaks, yeah I'll be going back in a few weeks....ever pull up to a girls house sounding like a freight train? So not sexy!

My advice would be to take a tech with you for a test drive instead of just dropping off the car. They told me my squealing brakes were normal as well and they brought the tech out to tell me the same thing. I said "let's go for a quick spin" and we headed for the car. We went about 1,000 feet before he told me he didn't need to hear any more. They pushed it through the BMW system and replaced the pads and rotors. It's been great ever since.
