When I was working at BMWSF, booktime was terrible and it was actually significantly lower than the actual "getting the car, getting on the lift, get the parts , getting the job done, and finally moving the car out back to the lot." time. I was told by an old time tech, oil changes used to be 45minutes and they dropped it down to about 20minutes. I would not be surprised that the book time is actually done by a master tech who has done the job before and has the car ready and ALL the tools laid on on his bench ready to go. That being said, I am still surprised its 3hrs. I'll check when I schedule my recall soon.
received the recall letter today
As the third owner of my zhp, how will I know if mine is part of the recall?
