I wanted to follow on this thread that I started a week or so ago and show some pictures. While speaking to the mechanic earlier today when I picked up the car he said the moment he pulled out the first rod bearing shell he knew it had been a really good idea to change out the bearings. As you can see...they were pretty bad. I'm glad I went ahead and had this done! Replaced with BE Bearings and BE ARP bolts.
The motor mounts were not terrible but they were about 1/2" shorter and softer than the new ones.
2009 e92M3, 52,321 miles 7,500 mile oil change intervals with 10w60, proper warm up routine during my ownership (I'm not the first owner).
