thanks, notouching for the reco! decided to get mine done at IS Garage which was difficult because I've only ever used G2 in the past, but i'm very impressed and happy with the results. either shop would do a great job, for sure, but i decided to try IS for a bit of a change (and b/c they also come highly recommended):

2008 e90 M3
60,500 miles
Daily driver but drive 5-7 miles per day... lots of short, city (stop & go) driving.
I always let her warm up for ~1 min then go slow until the oil comes up to temp.

Replaced with BE bearings and ARP bolts. The OEs looked pretty decent from the shot above, but all were worn near the top and edges... and pretty bad. I grabbed a few close-ups below. My last two blackstone analyses showed "higher-than-average" levels of lead in oil samples so I decided to just get this done along with OE motor mounts:
