Just purchased my first M3 last week, a 2008 e90 6MT with 47k miles, and of course the first thing I'd like to do is swap the rod bearings out for some BE's. I had been searching for an e90 M3 since mid-2018, and I'm super stoked now that I own one, but I also feel incredibly anxious about the bearings. I've received a few quotes, ranging from $3200-$11,000 ($11,000 was from BMW in Minnetonka claiming they needed to remove the pistons and connecting rods), and I'm waiting on a few other quotes, but I'd like to not spend more than $2500. I've seen some reputable shops on here offering the service for $1750 and $1950. Does anyone know of a shop near the Minneapolis area that does rod bearings for a reasonable price?
