It sounds pretty expensive. I got quoted $450 for parts and about 6 to 7 hours labour. About $750-$850 all up. That is New Zealand dollars also (Less than half the value or the US). However my car is 1980 so it may be simpler for this earlier year. I haven't got mine done though, and am just using broom ends to plug the hoses to stop a leak into the car and have no heater!!

Does this sound right????? That's pretty expensive. How hard is it to do yourself? My car is a 85 735i. Do they replace everything like sensors, vac hoses, relays,what is it that cost so much? I live in Baltimore. Does anyone know a good BMW mechanic within 50 miles. Thanks for advice.
