Unfortunately repair costs can vary significantly based on not just the vehicle but also the location that you live in. The parts can be quite expensive for these vehicles as many parts are manufactured by BMW. Also depending on how significant the issues are the labor can get pretty high as well considering that the front bumper may need to come off for even average repairs due to the compact fitting of certain parts on the vehicle.
