Your post about the rod bearings has me a bit worried. I'm doing vanos work now, and plan to do rod bearings in the very near future. I do know about the ARP bolts, and some have recommended against using them due to the amount of force needed to seat them properly. I was speaking to an indy last week that said he replaced bearings on an M3 (S54) with the treated OEM bearings and ARP bolts, and the M3 lost the engine at the track within a year of replacing the bearings.
Is proper rod bearing replacement something only a race shop can perform? I was planning on using stock bolts, but leaning toward the treated OEM bearings.
