    You really make no sense unfortunately. If you can't understand what I was asking, respectfully you should move along. I asked a simple question & some members have answered my question. You seem to want to make a mountain out of a molehill. I think maybe you're the one that "plays alone".

    Agree with you 100%.

    Thanks for your comment. Basically, I was just looking to get some non-OEM rod bearings to install and not the OEM part. I was just unsure if an Indy or BMW dealership would install them because of them being aftermarket. I don't want to install OEM again if there are better aftermarket parts to replace them. Thanks.

    (1) No, I don't. Because restaurants don't allow it. Do a lot of workshops? Yes. I was simply asking if anyone knew of a BMW Indy that DOES allow it. Nothing more, nothing less. (2) I very rarely supply the wrong part. Why? Because it's called research, verify, enquire then purchase. Do the job right the first time, there is no second time. (3) I've had labour only at plenty of dealerships and Indy workshops fitting parts I supplied. Just never a BMW dealership or Indy. Hence my question. Please, don't overthink it.

    Hi all. I read this discussion & I just signed up today on this forum. I've looked around the sight but not quite switched on yet. So, I thought I'd ask here if anyone could recommend a good "Indy" in Auckland that would be happy with me taking in parts for a rod bearings replacement on a 2006 E63 M6? (I don't own a BMW yet but I'm looking at buying a 2006 E63 M6). There is a BMW Indy up here in Whangarei, but I'm not sure yet (I just emailed them this evening) if they would do the job with parts supplied by me. So, I'm just preparing in case they say no, or they charge me like a wounded bull because they are the only BMW specialist up here. I've heard/read it's an expensive job anyway (around $3.5 to 5k?) to get done, so I'm just keen to get the job priced at other workshops and compare. Any advice, tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
