So, what is a reasonable amount to expect to pay (range) for a BMW shop to rebuild a motor with removing and reinstalling it? Let's say, nothing performance, performance reuse all rods/pistons.
I'll let you know the labor cost when it's all said and done.. I'm definitely not going stock though - we're doing a full valve cover to oil pan build on a spare motor and then just swapping it out, which shouldn't take more than a day or two..
it's also gonna cost significantly more to R&R all the bearings and have the block machined for the new pistons
unless you're doing something similar, expect some serious downtime if you're having your existing motor worked on..
you should check your regional forum for local BMW shops and check with them..Make the bastard chase you.
