It's more challenging because the stakes are higher and there are more things to dismount, but there is no technical complexity. The vanos DIY I did on the E46M3 was complex because it was hard to understand, and not understanding could blow your engine.

The rod bearing job is a matter of unbolting a bunch of bolts and nuts and having a high quality torque wrench, nothing else. I think a lift is almost essential, but plenty of people have changed M3 rod bearings on jack stands so I guess they just have bigger balls than I do
