The tech said they are a maintenance item, but said 20k mi is unusually low for them.
The good news is I hear they are fairly inexpensive, and easy to replace. I hear BMW guys saying theirs fail commonly also.

Even if the parts are cheap the invoice shows they billed MBUSA 2.4 hours labor for the job, so that's about $225 here...I would say $300 total would be the minimum for parts and labor. If they wear every 14K that's one heck of a maintenance item.
