Just updated all the Photobucket :headbang: pics from the beginning of the thread, could I ask others to do the same please, as hopefully more and more peeps will add their details.

Thanks. :thumbsup:

Relieved they could not find a single scoring mark or scratch on the crank surfaces.

Mine's a 2006, 178926km (111179miles) car.
Bought it at 154000km's, so I don't know the details of that distance other than it's been well serviced at BMW according to the service stamps/receipts.
During my time i've done 4 trackdays in total.

Paid 16177kr for the job (about 1463£)

In no particular order (got all in a bag):

Will run in for c:a 1200miles under 4000rpm.
Workshop (Bo&Jimmy's in Gothenburg, Sweden) claim I don't need to change oil after that but advise oil change each 10000km's maximum (which I always done anyway).
Howly cows Batman!! :cry: ! those are well and truly shot! :o
Glad you caught it in time. :thumbsup:

Thanx Vanne!!
The choice I made between new custom backboxes, or new rodbearings today seems a very easy one... I'm glad I made the correct choice!

With that wear would be a good idea to get clearances checked. Don't worry too much if you didnt but would have been a good to have.
