Lol ok lets not get carried away. Yes, some parts are unreasonable but for things like brakes, bulbs, and most wear and tear items, there are reputable aftermarket alternatives. They gave him that awful price because they quoted him using BMW OEM certified parts. Which is great if you're anal about that stuff but a quick google search tells you which part manufacturers are better than others.
I did the brakes on my 335i myself for $450 total in parts, not OEM but Brembo so pretty damn good. The problem is that shops know that euro-luxury car owners can be gouged by selling them overpriced parts and labor.
Moral of the story: do your googles
