That car is an 08.

I purchased at 52k miles and now in 3 years, odometer is at 85k miles as a daily driven.
Keep in mind I do not track and always warm up properly before passing 3k rpm and still the bearing wear is more than I originally thought. It's safe to say it's a crap shoot with oem bearings regardless of mileage.
Anyway, HUGE thanks again to ACM for providing me with peace of mind using the WPC treated bearings.

Thank you! Appreciate the kind words. This is one of the most intensive jobs that can be done on these cars, and it means a lot that customers trust us with their babies to take care of this service. The E46's are all dying with their subframe failures so it's hard to find them long term years later. Addressing this issue now for these cars will keep them on the road longer and healthier.
