They look great. But a year late for me, unfortunately. Maybe next time.

Outstanding that these are finally becoming available. I'm at 25k miles on my 2011.75 now and will likely be making the switch over within the next year.

And I find it amusing that these are named "Bert and Ernie Bearings"

Brilliant, I'm about 'due' for replacing mine since I can't get enough of this car!

Interesting...they claim the 2011+ M3s have more failures than the 2008-2010s. I have not yet heard someone make that claim.

"Newer factory bearings (2010.5 and later) are made from tin-aluminum, not lead-copper. Tin-aluminum bearings are 5-times harder on the surface than lead-copper bearings. This extra hardness shows signs of doing more damage to motors as there seems to be more bearing failures with 2010.5 and later vehicles."

Regardless, might pick up a set of these. Glad they're finally out.
