Hourly rate you are charged?

I don't believe I've seen any posts of hourly rates dealers are charging. What is your dealer charging and where are you located (regional cost differences very important)

I think my local dealer is $100/hr as well (Chicago area).

Most aftermarket installers are about $65-85/hr based on their
experience and certifications.

For work that is not covered under warranty, my local independent BMW mechanic charges $65/hr and bases his charges on the actual time it takes to do a job, not some inflated number in the dealer service manager's book.

Since BMW/MINI does not allow BMW dealerships to work on MINI's and I live 2+ hours from the nearest dealer, an independent shop is the best option for me.
