S54 Inspection 2 + Rod Bearing Service
Been quoted £1,400 for the following work:
Inspection 2
- engine oil + filter
- microfilter
- air filter
- spark plugs
- valve clearances
- differential oil
- gearbox oil
- coolant flush
- subframe check
Rod bearing service
- new shells
- bolts
+ labour
Is this about right?
(Yes I know this is for an M3 and not a Z4 but so far I have found that people are quite unresponsive on the Cutters forum)

Out of curiosity, how much is the labour on the job? What sort of mileage do I need to be thinking about a rod bearing service?R60BBA wrote: ↑Tue Jul 10, 2018 11:36 am Been quoted £1,400 for the following work:

General consensus is every 80,000 - 100,000 miles, but this can depend on a number of factors (ie how often the oil has been changed, what type of oil has been used, whether the car has been warmed up before using full throttle etc)

I paid that for inspection2 and Rod bearing shells at my Indy, sounds about right
I think the rod bearing shells labour is about 500 ish with about 450ish of parts from what I can remember, CPC charge around £975 in total. Get them to check the engine mount bolts as they like to work themselves loose!

Do they measure the Crankshaft for ovality and wear before they renew the con-rod bearings, not forgetting does the con-rod also get measured to make sure that it is within tolerances?
