Fog light housing $325???

Hey all, couldn't avoid a piece of tire driving last week, hit right front fog light (E90 sport). No bumper, paint damage of ANY type, just cracked fog light. Dealer states $325 out the door....does this sound legit? He was saying I need a whole new assembly instead of just the bulb and cover? any thoughts would be appreciated. thx

its a $98 part, your dealers are ripping you off on the labor.

it does not take two hours to undo three screws....

The same happened on our 10 y.o. Nissan....$185 list, $120 with discount, for the OEM part. I bought AM on eBay for $41 and did it myself. No reason to pay $300 for something like a fog lamp. The nissan was totally rusted as well, still no biggie.
