ATLIEN- Just had a positive experience at Eurotechnik on a misfire issue. BMW Asheville wanted to replace the injectors. Eurotechnik correctly diagnosed the problem as a broken valve spring in cylinder #2. They replaced all four valve springs for cylinder #2 for about $3,300 dollars. A pleasure to work with. I am on the waiting list for BE rod bearings.

At 117,685 miles I finally got the rod bearings replaced with BE Bearings and BE spec ARP bolts. Marcus Schall - of Schall Motorsports in Spartanburg South Carolina - did a perfect job, as well as took care of some other small issues the car needed done, such as replacing the header tank return vent pipe, installing new Vibra Technics engine mounts, and lubricating one of the frozen Harrop super charger drive belt idler pulleys.
If you live in the Southeast, and need rod bearings replaced, I highly recommend you consider using Schall Motorsports. Marcus Schall is a professional BMW Technician from Europe, is highly knowledgeable regarding M3s as well as being a true Car-Guy enthusiast. I was quite anxious about getting the job done, having owned the car since new (2008), the added complexity of the blower sitting atop the engine, and my being very attached to the car. But Marcus provided prompt communications, answered all my questions, and was patient and generous with his time. On top of all that, the car runs perfectly. https://www.schallmotorsport.com/ **Cross Linked Below** to my rod bearing post in the official condition thread. https://www.m3post.com/forums/showpo...postcount=1966

Marcus allowed three days to do the rod bearing job, though he had the car slightly longer due to some other work the car needed doing. Schall Motorsports provided all of the parts which had been on order since August 2020. However, BE Bearings are now back up and running again - after being down due to WuFlu. The shop isn't fancy, but in my opinion it's the person and their expertise that inspire customer confidence - at least in my case. PS: The shop is chock full of M3s of all vintages. I wish I'd taken a picture...

Did you ever get the rod bearings done? Also, someday perhaps we'll meet up at an event and have some Bavaria-talk finally. I wish we could get on that Michelin wet handling course again...maybe someday they'll let the club have access to it once more. Regards, Chuck

Did you happen to get a photo that day at Michelin Drifting School when my M3 spun on the back straight? 60mph ass first and screaming in second gear. Yes, let's do it again.

This spring I would be glad to host a drive on the back roads around Highlands/Cashiers. Or the Moonshiner Highway that starts in Walhalla SC and ends at the Tail of the Dragon. Amazing and diverse.

I did drive it to the MX1 event a couple of weekends ago, and I should have checked in here to see who else local was attending. It was a nice C&C at the CCA HQ, and the weather held off too which was excellent.

The owner of Schall Motorsports - in Spartanburg, SC - is selling his personal track prepared E46 M3. See the forums Ad link below.
https://e46m3.bimmerpost.com/forums/....php?t=1873859 PS: This shop does excellent S65 rod bearing replacement work for anyone in the upstate (or even the Charlotte) area if needed.

I'll give another recommendation to Marcus Schall with Schall Motorsport in Greer. I just picked up my 2011 E92 M3 today from getting the rod bearing service and I couldn't be happier. Marcus is such a genuine guy and you can tell he really loves BMW's. He had my car done in just over 2 days and it runs great. He talked with me about the process, took pictures, and of course let me keep the original bearings. Would very highly recommend Marcus to anyone.

Dry Ice Blasting In The Southeast
Does anyone know of a good Dry Ice Blasting business in the Southeast that does automotive detail and restoration work? I searched and could only find one I would consider - and it has been in business for a decade - which is either odd, or a business waiting to happen, or both. Here's a link to the shop I found in South FL. It's about a ten hour drive from Greenville, SC - and perhaps too far for me after all..

What are you looking to have done? Larry Kossila recently did a couple of informative dry blasting videos that give a really good idea of what it can and can't do. From his depiction of the costs involved in the system, I can understand why there are very few shops with the equipment.
