$24,000 for rod bearings and actuators, this is why no one trusts dealers

I hate to be the spoiler? I am not a YT fan, 99% terrible content. A full SMG power block including the shift block was $10,000 the last time I checked. I have been through everything on my SMG as all of you know. This forum is legit if you want to own one of these cars and the SMG is the most mysterious due mostly to the software. True if the SMG pump times out you are on a trailer without INPA or ISTA. From a dealer point of view considering labor $15k is not that bad. That said I would never take this car to a dealer.

Many of us fight and fight to avoid this cost but to what end? After all of the time and heartache that I have put in I could have dropped $10k and been done. Never forget this is a $100k car 18 years ago. Most BMW guys drop that without a blink on lesser models. They are all lesser models.
