Fair-price range (from sourced prices)
How this is derived: the middle 50% (25th–75th percentile) of the USD prices in the table below for that shop type, using full-job totals only. Labor-only, customer-supplied-parts, warranty cost-share, bundled-extra-work and non-USD prices are shown but excluded. A range is only published with at least 3 usable prices. Scope differs between quotes, so read the notes.

Which cars are affected
2009–2018 550i, 650i, 750i, X5/X6 xDrive50i

N63 covers are metal, so usually only gaskets are replaced, but plan on the brittle crankcase vent lines breaking and on injector seals. Labor is the cost: injectors, intake parts and wiring come off.
