BE Rod Bearing Life

What is the consensus on how many miles a new set of BE Rod Bearings should be good for, before needing to be replaced again?

I am looking at an M3 that had BE Bearings and ARP bolts put in at 35K miles, and the car currently has just under 60K miles. Trying to plan accordingly..

My car has ~18,000 miles on its BE bearings, installed at ~102,000 miles. Nobody is pulling these things out on a preventive basis that I'm aware of. In other words, who the hell knows, I would just run a few blackstone tests on successive oil changes and see where it's at. If there's lead (especially if it's a newer car that doesn't have lead in the mains) it's coming from the be bearings
