I have a 1998 BMW 318ti with 200,000+ miles on it, and the repair shop is just about to replace the radiator for the third time in about three months. They are going to do an engine pressure test and suspect a blown head gasket. How much should it cost to replace the the head gasket on this car?

Thanks for your help!

BMW says 9 hours to replace the head gasket.
Also, pressure test the head if it is removed.
