Had my 2010 E90 M3 rod bearings serviced by MWorks in Cincinnati. 70k miles. Looks to be about perfect timing.

Work done at Bavarian Specialties. Great shop to work with.

Blackstone report was unremarkable, but the top shells were looking rough.

Good job and thanks for posting. My thoughts are, if those are original OEM beaeings from the factory, then you’re a lucky man. The German bearing lottery is a game of tolerance stack up and yours just maybe on the looser side of the tolerance stack up window. Hence, the bearings look pretty good for that much mileage in an S65.

Photos are rather dark, are the top shells showing copper?
