Luther does solid work and I would let him work on any of my vehicles. He did several difficult procedures on my 335 and was rock solid on all of them.
I'm not sure who you talked to at the shop, but Luther is the owner and is very knowledgeable. He does have an employee that goes by some goofy nickname that talks too much.....might have been him. Call back and talk to Luther.

I've been calling around trying to get quotes, and out of all of the shops listed RRT is the only one that sounded like they were confident with the job.

RRT is top shelf. I've done the job 3 times myself back in Vegas (had a lift in my garage). It's pretty simple but you have to know wtf you are doing. Not for the timid. Experience is a huge plus when searching for someone to do the job.

So what were the quotes and actual prices you guys paid a shop to do it?
I'm thinking about going to GT Peace, but won't be able to get a quote till Monday. |

yes, we would have you come up before close the day before (preferred around 3pm) we would get it on the lift and do an overnight oil drain. work on replacing bearings until about 3-4pm next day and then you can take her home! Just give me a buzz when you want to schedule it up!

It looks like the newer M3s have more instances of rod bearing failure at lower mileages. The earlier M3s had softer bearings so even if it wore badly, it wouldn't cause engine failure as often. 08-10 bearings are more durable than later models.

I agree with the 1.5 days for the job as you want to do the oil drain overnight. It sucks to have oil drip on you while you're doing any car work, let alone trying to concentrate on installing rod bearings and torquing things correctly.

I was quoted around $2500 with motor mounts. Isn't the on-going rate like 2200-2700?
