Do not take it anywhere for anything. Learn to work on the car yourself. The e9x m3 is one of the easiest cars I've ever worked on. The only reason anyone ever touched my car is for tire installation and alignments. I do everything else.

I didn't do the rod bearings 😔. But increasingly feel confident I could've figured it out with the right amount of patience. Saved thousands of dollars and it's more fun to have intimate knowledge of your car.

Drive with a pen in your pocket? What? lol ,maybe you meant definitely break?
So you're saying he's saying, if the diff breaks put absorbent pads under it? (a joke then I take it). Also I can't see how uprated diff bushes is going to stop the diff breaking.

Upgrading the differential mounts reduces movement and thus reduces or eliminates breaking bolts (assuming solid aluminum mounts).

Ah I see, diff mounts, thought you were talking internally rather than externally.

Amazing thread. A simple yet comprehensive list of all the things you want to look out for. These cars don't maintain themselves.
