The only ones I'm sure about are:

-software : about 20 minutes, you can do it yourself easily (anyone can).
-fan delete kit : an hour or two
-underdrive pullies : 1-2 hours (probably cost around $60-100)

Not sure about the rest, sorry. Where'd you get all this stuff? haha, that's a pretty big list of upgrades you're doing all at once. Get into some money or something?

damn that is some tax return there... diff isnt to bad of an install.. as for time i could not tell you, but i have been around when a few friends did their diff swaps and as long as you follow directions you are golden... installing cams yourself might be difficult... not impossible but you gotta have all the tools etc.. i would pay to have these done... have them clean it all out etc

softward is nice and fast... undrive pullies can be done yourself... but i know some people like to pay to have them done

With each BMW dealer charging different amount Ide say 60-120$ per hour there charge you.

-m3 cams. Since its pretty complex to do they might chage you around 4 hours.
-m50 intake manifold. with all the lines connected to it Ide say around 2-3 hours
-new software. Depends on what you need installed.
-fan delete kit. 1 hour
-underdrive pullies. 1 hour
-differential. 6 hours

-control arms w. new bushing. hour
-LCAB + RTAB w. GC shims. maybe around an hour or 2

Dealership doesn't do aftermarket work anyway, do they?

SWEET!! Nice set of mods man ........I've asked BAV AUTO about swapping M3 cams in and didn't really get much of an answer except...'buy our Schrick cams for $1200'. Anyone know the HP upgrade on a set of stock M3 cams? 10 HP??
Anyone....Anyone.....Bueller....Bueller.....

s50 cams should give you between 25-30 horses.. for a 325. So for a 2.8L the gains would probably be similar, using s52 cams, or somewhat better. Cams are by FAR the best bang for buck mod you can do to your car.

A diff shouldn't be a 6 hour install..

just got the car back this evening. all i can say is wow the car is so much faster than it used to be. also got a sach's racing clutch, 96+ m3 lca's, lcab's and rtab's, painted and installed my m3 bumper, m3 mirrors and m3 rear difuser. it drives like an entirely new car.

everything looks great except for the rear difuser which really does not fit all that well. it needed to be trimed so it would fit so there are holes on the side. it was not noticable to people that did not know how the difuser should fit but i can notice it. i think i might cover the holes with black electrical tape or something

the car has to go back to get an aliignment on thursday but other than that everything is great. its tempting to drive really fast but i know handling is compramised by the alignment being off.
