Shot in the dark

mrdoja · 09-22-2018, 09:45 PM

Hello all - I purchased an 08 E92 6MT Alpine white / Fox red interior from a dealer in North Jersey last week - 65k miles. I dropped the exhaust to get the OEM mod and noticed it was already done - ACM mod. I am planning on doing the rod bearings...but before i do am curious if anyone on this forum knows of, or is, the previous owner of this car and can let me know if rod bearings were replaced (no manual or receipts - only a car fax report showing maintenance). The dealer said the guy traded it in for another M3, black E90 he had on his lot lol... The car is mint - so any help out there would be appreciated! I plan to call ACM Monday to see if they can help - if the guy had bearings done it would have most likely been there...
TIA,
Doug

Another shot in the dark idea for you. A lot of people who change bearings get oil analysis. Maybe reach out to Blackstone to see if there is a history on your VIN. People often tell Blackstone that they got new bearings and are checking as a result, or that they are looking for bearing wear.
