I contacted the Indy workshop who provided the quote above, the guy I deal with seemed a bit miffed, when I gave him the verbatim above from vtl. Said it was impossible, according to him, they have to drop the engine sub-frame etc.

He finished the email saying (in a gruff manner)... "it will take as long as it takes, and cost as much as it costs."

TBH, I'm getting sick and tired of sticking cash into this car, seems I do one thing, only to have something else go on me... the things in the workshop more than it's on the road. And, with all this stuff going wrong, I'm at the point where I'm too paranoid to drive or enjoy it. I bought to have fun in, not to replace every component in the engine etc.

Hence, thinking about selling it, then purchasing a 2009 - 2011 M3 (convertible) V8.

Dont give in just because there are rip off mechanics in SA mate... tell him to sit on ur digit and seriously drive the car to Melb and get the work done here at Worx or Yoda Motorsports.... its literally a 6-7 hr drive

They have no idea.

No need for new lines. O rings most likely.
Cost $2 and and take 5-10 hours to do.
No subframe removal needed.

Do not buy a m3 convertible!
