Yeah that is one of my main things, I was honestly thinking "Welp, time to sleeve it and ready it for a supercharger" but that I was told was going to be 24K roughly to do. So at that point I could buy a whole other M3 if I wanted.
I've been digging around and the 6-8k range seems about average for a used 140k mile to 40K mile engines. Labor seems to revolve around 2-5k depending on the shop you ask. If I got a replacement engine, I would likely go to VAC Motorsport immediately to get the rod bearings done first. hell I could probably still use the ones on my old engine if I was really desperate minus the set on cylinder 8, they have less then 20k miles on em.
