Been meaning to post this for a few weeks, but work travel got the better of me. Got mine done at Mporium (deansbimmer) in Mckinney, TX. Would first like to give a shout out to Coulter and Mike for their accommodation and professionalism. They know what they are doing. I drove up from Austin to get this done. If you are thinking about getting this done and are in the area, go here.
Some stats and background on the car:
2011.75 e92 ZCP
41K miles
2nd owner
Broken in meticulously (I know the original owner)
Oil change every 5-7K miles
Typically follow warm up protocol when possible, never rev out excessively when not up to temp and always kept below 4K rpm when warming up
A few track days each year
No significant mods that would impact engine performance
Visually, they do not look to bad to me, but Mike confirmed that this is still excessive wear for a car with this many miles. One bearing (6 top) had a strange scratch on it that could have come from some debris.
Considering there are no BE bearings available, we decided to move forward with ACL as I did not want to wait around for BE to come in. I have a track day coming up and needed some mental insurance. Mike/Coulter seemed confident enough that ACL put out a fine product and are still better than stock. Considering I have little wear on the bearings, apparently I have a good engine. BE rod bolts were used.
Other work completed include:
Spark plugs
Front rotors and pads
Brake flush
Replace engine mounts (as you can see, one of them pee'd on their floor)
Car definitely starts up and runs smoother than before getting the work complete.
