I figured no big deal but it delayed me dropping of my car to VSR in NH to get the rod bearing job done a week.
Talking to Bimmerworld middle last week and they thought the bolts would be shipped last Thursday or Friday so I made an appointment to drop off the car at VSR this past Saturday figuring that they would get the bolts middle of this week worst case.
I just got an email from Bimmerworld telling me that there is a national back-order from ARP for these bolts. There simply aren't any. Is anyone else running into this right now? Anyone know where I could get some so VSR isn't stuck with my car longer than they have to be?

I have a set of the ARP-625's that I used for testing bearing clearance. They've never been run in a car. I think I also have a set of the lesser expensive ARP-2000's that have never been torqued or tested. Now that my testing is completed, I have no use for either set.
PM me if interested in buying. I could next-day air if you're in a bind.
