Workshop to do rod bearing in sydney

[BonusM3]

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and looking at purchasing an E92 M3 as a toy / weekender car.

I'm trying to price up the cost of rod bearing replacement.

Where would be the best place in Sydney to trust to do the rod bearing replacement.

I can possibly do the throttle actuator myself however as I don't have any experience with the rod bearing, I'm happy to pay a workshop to do it properly.

Originally I was looking at the Lexus ISF but the interior seems to date very quickly hence looking at the E92 M3.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

Mine has been done in QLD, price was approx. 3-4k mark including some other upgrades as well.

Seems like a buyers market for the E92 at the moment as non of the sellers I spoke haven't got a clue about the bearings.

I cant tell if you are trying to double negative there or if its by accident.

The majority of owners, and as such sellers, have no clue about the rod bearings.

Bromspec BMW 23 Orchard Rd, Brookvale NSW 2100. Alastair has a supercharged E92 M3 and had done dozens of these and has it down to a fine art. Also Stuart from BMR Autowerks in Auburn is highly experienced.
Normally you will replace engine mounts and do a full service at the same time as its a good opportunity
