My point here is that 10w60 was used before in M1 and since its inception of M3 and continued doing so and the NA M engines were designed around the grade.

In some ways they're the same, but other ways they are very different. P65 blocks have different casting numbers, made from different materials, and have a completely different bedplate. The cylinder heads have different construction too; cam followers for P65 are 35mm vs 33mm for S65. Bert has one P65 cam followers, and yes they are very different.

I don't know how anyone makes money charging that. Hell, it's over a grand for all the parts/oil/gaskets. $700 in labor? Same day is super fast. That is still only $70 to $80 an hour labor rate.

8 hours. Impressive. $100 an hour is a GREAT rate. Thanks for the breakdown.

BMW loves to replace hardware for no reason. The oil pan bolts are fine to re-use unless you want to donate $100 to BMW for fun. Just make sure they are clean and the head is undamaged. Cheers,

If anything I would rather replace the control arm bolts. But even that is not necessary. |

EDIT: Disregard. Turns out they were Calico coated bearings and the original poster's shop was mistaken.
Saw this posted on the E9X M3 facebook group today. Backstory from the poster is that he was rear-ended and the car started knocking. He thought he somehow spun a bearing, so took it to a shop for teardown. They pulled the bearings out, and to the their surprise they were all aftermarket bearings and in near perfect condition. The shop stated they were BE bearings with ARP bolts when they examined them (but I haven't seen a pic of the bottom of the shell for confirmation) He says he has owned the car for about 25k miles and the previous owner never mentioned the bearings were replaced. So, we can assume these bearings have at least 25k on them. I would assume it's a bit more than that if the seller didn't advertise "bearings just replaced" when he was buying the car.

The engine oil in the post in facebook has metal in it. I wonder what happened to this engine prior to the BE bearings.

Exactly!!! Those BE Bearings look GREAT!!! I bet the previous owner spun a bearings and threw these in to get rid of it. Hence why they might not have mentioned it. I would like to see what the journals look like. I bet one of them is scored from a previous spun bearings, seeing the metal in the oil filter housing. I replaced my OEM bearings with BE back in January at 62k miles. It makes me so good seeing how they look after 25k. OEM will look worn at 25k.

Yeah. I wonder if that metal was always there or if it was after the accident. The crank looked to be in rough shape, so it's very possible the previous owner spun a bearing and threw these in. If that's the case, it's surprising that the engine ran another 25k+ miles with a beat up crankshaft. |
