Rod Bearing Changed 80k miles and BlackStone Report

[///M3AlpineWhite]

Drive it like you stole it, cause you basically did!

Yeah, $20k is a silly good deal. <applause>

Nice!

Keep doing oil reports so we can see how they wear! Hopefully the mains stay good.

What he said! Damn good deal!

OP thanks for posting this. It is reassuring to see that your bearings were not that bad. Also nice to see yet another DIY. I want to do my own at 50K miles (at 27K now so I got a ways to go).

Ok so maybe the deal wasn't that good , but with my budget I thought only an e46 M would be within my reach. Here's the specs
08 E90 M3
78,000 miles
Alpine white/ black interior
6mt
I drive & cold weather package
2 owners and 0 accidents everything 100% functional
20k








Yeah I honestly can't seem to make heads or tails of this whole black stone report. But maybe this will help someone who is on the fence about changing them sleep better at night



Hey man nice to meet you and thanks for the welcome! Yeah I love my 335's power band but man this is a totally different animal. Those rotors were the first thing on my list. I did a full brake refresh with some high temp fluid, apex wheels and KW V3's. Signed up for my first track day in May so needless to say I'm beyond excited

wow 20k?!! thats insanly low price man...how did you get it for that price?

you just made me feel bad, I bough a 2011 model with same miles but 12k more than what you just paid

I don't believe 20k is forthcoming. I think OP paid more.

Hey guys, I actually bought it from a company down in Miami called "off lease only". I have bought my past 5 cars from them and I have become very good friends with the owner. They normally only sell cars at a maximum of 4 years old. They sell them below KBB and generate revenue in volume not margin because they buy all they're cars at the auctions around the country. But they don't give you shit for you trade in for the same reason. A lady just traded this car in for a Audi R8 and since this car was so old he just wanted it off his lot and gave it to me for cost as a personal favor.

Looking at that site I feel like they have a lot of good deals. Mostly mainstream cars over performance oriented ones but here is a pretty good deal:
2011 M3 vert with 38k miles for 36k
