Best rod bearings kit?

Hi everyone! Just picked up a 2011 e92 m3 with 173k km. Rod bearings have not been done and I don’t want to drive it till they get done. Any suggestions for a good kit?
I found this one

But I just wanted to check with you guys first before pulling the trigger
Thanks!

Seems like a solid kit. You probably don't want the OEM rod bolts though. I would opt for ARP bolts. The OEM bolts have a very specific torquing process that most folks don't want to deal with.

I've been running the ACL mixed set bearings to get the desired clearance like Lang Racing does in this kit. With ARP bolts.

My RB's were done about 10-15k miles ago at about 130k miles on the motor.

I paid about $2700 USD for labor and parts including motor mounts and a new ground wire.

Be sure to knock out the motor mounts (which are included in the kit) while your at it.
