Notes:
M3 was just purchased on used market, came in with audible ticking. After getting oil analysis performed, it was quickly scheduled in for bearing service. Engine failure imminent if not attended to immediately.

Bearings were replaced with WPC Treated Bearing Set & ARP Rod Bolts. Engine and oil cooler/lines flushed to clean out any remaining debris.

Images:


As seen, bearing #2 suffered the most damage, with all remaining bearings showing considerable wear. Bearing particles were visible in oil filter element, required flushing to make sure all particles were removed from engine, lines and cooler.

Blackstone Oil Report:


Driver is very lucky to still be driving his M3. Schedule your appointment today!
