AutoTalent and BE Bearings are the same company in Gardena, CA. So always order direct from AutoTalent or BE Bearing for fastest service...instead of third parties.
Solid people and great shop, always packed with exotic cars. The BE bearings are made by Clevite, so there is always a wait.

If you have a 2011+ E9X M3, you dont have an issue, since the bearing material was switched to the harder aluminum/tin, from the softer copper/lead.
For 2008-2010 E9X M3s, use a Blackstone Oil Analysis if you are concerned about bearing wear. You will know in 2 weeks and it is cheap insurance. Otherwise, do an oil change at 5K mile intervals, instead of 10k-15k miles. If you have more than 120K miles, baby your car until you get the rod bearing service done.
Liquid Moly makes some oil additives like, CeraTec and MoS2, that you can try.
My 170k mile 2009 E90 M3 had little bearing wear, and I did 15k mile oil changes at the BMW dealership using that OEM 10w60 junk for 10 years.
Avoid slamming a trusted vendor in the BMW community online. This isn't Facebook and Twitter.
