Question DIY Rod Bearings

Hi all, I'm wanting to get a 2008 BMW M3 with 57k miles in a true manual, and I've read the engine is derived from the notorious v10 and some of the v8s have seen the same bearing issue. For peace of mind how hard would it be to DIY the rod bearings in my garage? I have jack stands and normal tools including torque wrenches. Will I need and specific to BMW tools? Can this engine be done while still in the car or does it need pulled? I have engine tear down experience, but it was on a seized push rod v8, so a bit different with lower stakes. But I feel this is within my ability.
