Paid $690 for E55 trans selector assembly

(To moderator: hope it's OK that I also post in the E55 AMG section)

I spilled coffee, after this the car would not even go into Drive. Several days later got it into 1st gear, drove short distance to repair shop.

The shifter assembly, part number 210-267-05-24 (listed on my invoice) was replaced. Got car back after 1 day. Just for that part, cost me $690. This was not done at the dealership.

Looked around today to verify this charge.

On Ebay - $468

importecautoparts $523 (list price $580)

bimmerspecialist.com - $542.99

Amazon - $567.90

For what it's worth, labor was $345

Any idea why I would have been charged this amount, when there are numerous sources that have it for less? I will speak to them after I get some info.

just so you know if you had gone to the dealer it would of been way more thsn 690. trust me I work st the dealer. when the guy told you it would be that much you could of easily said ill get the part myself. but you said yes and he went and found the part and marked it up to make a profit. why would the owner or manager of a service shop by a part for 400 and then just turn around and sell it to you for the same price. how would they stay in business? how does any company? jusy saying.
