Had mine done at the dealer for $1587. Got a free loaner. The work included new WP, antifreeze and thermostat. Plus a 24 month unlimited mileage warranty and the work was completed in 1 day. Remember your time is worth something too.
Unless I was saving a significant sum, I'd just get the dealer or a good indy shop to do it.
Oh, mine went at 72K. Lucky I was less than a mile from home.

It wasn't a fun job on ramps with limited room for a creeper. It cost me <$600 so at a savings of almost $1000, yeah it may have been worth it. I also did the thermostat and I *think* all BMW OEM parts have a 2 year warranty (although I bought from ECS tuning so not sure,b ut if i bought from getbmwparts they may have honored it).
I'd say my time is worth less than $1000/day
