Reputable S85 bearing replacement shop in Nor Cal???

Smithers07 · 10-24-2018, 05:58 PM

I just purchased my 2007 M6 with 76,000mi on it. I was prepared to have the engine bearings replaced for preventative maintenance. The the massive info I have researched, its recommends between 50k and 100k on the S85. Anyone shoot me info or help if they have delt with this? Looking for Northern Ca. preferably Sacramento.

Performance technic or Carbahn (Steve dinan's shop) have probably done dozens of s85 rebuilds. I'd definitely bring to a higher end shop considering how sensitive that motor is. Good luck

We are the developers of BE Bearings and have as much experience with these and the S65 motors as anyone else. If you have no luck locally and can get the car to SoCal then we can definitely help you out.

Thank you for the response, Sac seems to have no options. Ill hit up the shops you suggested.

there was a socal shop offering to do S65 motors for as low as $1200. S85 will be marginally more expensive for the additional parts.

I wouldn't mind a vacation, and travel to so cal. Iv'e researched Lang in So Ca also. Would you happen to remember the shop name?

Thanks
