51339451528 (Shaft Cover Outer Front Door)
It usually costs ~$90 from online BMW stores, but this dealer said it would be $130. Then I asked about the labor, and he said part+labor is $616. He said it costs this much since the side mirror has to be replaced for replacing this part.
Does anyone share some tips? Insurance won't work since deductible is higher than that. I would contact some body shops around....
Thank you.

Ask your dealership which bodyshop they send their cars to for bodywork, becasue it is likely that they will send the car there to do this.
Then, take your new trim piece and ask the bodyshop to install it.
Your dealer is charging you $486 for labor, where half would be paid to the bodyshop. So expect around $200-250 labor cost at the bodyshop.
