Ever since I bought the S54 coupe I've had the con rod bearing shell fix job on my list of things to do when I had cashflow.
Based on reading the threads here and elsewhere about how best to proceed I'm going to opt to have someone replace the bearing shells as per the E46 M3 service advisory and replace the bolts with the ARP aftermarket one (201-6103)
I finally have cashflow to pay for the labour and having watched the prices picked up the BMW service kit and ARP bolts at reasonable retail rate and will aim to get the work done when the oil service I'll need shortly needs doing.
Leaving the wisdom of the decision to the other older threads has anyone got recommendations for an indie specialist near Basingstoke/Reading that has actually done the work in question for them please? And won't mind that I already have most of the parts required to hand?
Cheers.
