[Rob_M3]

I've been wanting to get my rod bearings swapped out since getting my M3 a little over 11 months ago. Ended up getting the parts for this job just a bit after I got the car. Huge thanks to my brother (who also owns an M3 and had his bearings changed last year), my cousin who is a tech at Audi, a friend who is a tech at Honda and my brother in law for all their help and taking the time to do this on Good Friday.

We made it a fun day out of it with lots of joking and chatting while working at the same time. We also changed out the fluids in the rear diff and transmission and changed out the air filter. All in all including two breaks and all the joking around that we did, it took us about 6 hours as this was my cousins second time doing this job and got some help this time.

My car is a 2008 6MT with 77,000 kms (about 48k miles) with dealer OCI's from the previous owner. I went with BE bearings with ARP bolts.
