Make the drive to lake forest and have MRF do them. Worth the trip.

drive down to Malek@MRF. no brainer.

Or come to the valley. JMP Autowerkz in Canoga Park. Typically it's ~$2,200 parts and labor

I agree a couple of the posts above. Go to MRF.

I wish I went to MRF....I went somewhere else to save a couple bucks and now wish I went to MRF so I could have full confidence everything was done right.

Don’t pick a place on price.

I have a friend with an e90 who's also a fan of JMP but I have no personal experience like I do with MRF.

My car will actually be making a visit to MRF this week

im a Mechanical Engineer by trade, so I know where I should go and who is really capable of.

[Mr. M3]

had my car there at MRF for rod bearings this past March. Be prepared get a rental because rod bearings takes more than a few hours and nowhere to sit due to COVID19.

Check out Techcraft in Irwindale

AutoTalent is closer. They helped develop BE bearings.
They're the distributors for BE Bearings.
They don't ask anyone to post positive reviews.
The popular shop here has had issues, BIG issues on my buddies car.

I'm not saying any shop is perfect and people having a positive experience at a given shop is always subjective.

But LOL at the insinuation at the "popular shop" here asked to post positive reviews. Perhaps that's true for some but I've never been asked to share anything about any of my experiences.

I've only shared my positive experiences on the forums because I've been the recipient of good info from others here too that's helped me along the way.

had 2 of my previous cars done at joe@trinityautosport

[M's M3 E93]

What's the general guidance on replacing them - when? I see a few posts on forum about this...

Trolling much?

AutoTalent in Gardena makes the BE Bearings. About $2200 for the service.
Do a BlackStone oil test before and after.

Have them look over your 08 M3 front to back while it is there for 2 days.
A 2008 M3 would have the most issues, since it is the first year of the E9X M3 S65 with DCT.

Good luck...Interlagos Blau!

Cheers

do not go to MRF unless you want to get ripped off by his unethical business practices
