It's really not bad at all. What part were you worried about? You could buy you own parts and take it to a local independent. Try BMA. Tell Patrick what you're doing and he'll give you everything necessary. No more than 2 units labor involved IMHO, more like one, but it doesn't bill like that. Use good hose clamps, not the bmw ones, and get some shielding around the hoses where they pass by the short block.
BTW,
it's been cold lately. when's the last time you changed your fluid and multirib belt? If it's 10 below and you have old fluid that's absorbed moisture, that doesn't mean your pump is a definite goner. I think your's takes CHF11, but look at the cap. You could get away with mobil1 ATF for awhile if the CHF is out of the question where you are, just don't mix.
