So, in other words, build it like a human (not a robot) would? Lol. Pick and choose the sizes that fit best.
It's so hard to understand why BMW would play the tolerances game with this car on such a fundamental and inexpensive engine component.

I'd rather buy bearings the right thickness to begin with so that I don't have to cut on the crank. WPC treated mains are the best thing going right now. You can adjust the clearances a little bit by mixing and matching those.
