In the process of doing the M5 (ACL Extra clearance bearings & OEM everything else)
And will do the CSL when it comes out of storage (with all OEM parts)

I would not entertain the ARP bolts unless you are going down the road of swapping out the conrods as well.
Thanks for the replies all - pretty much same consensus as E46 M3 fraternity.

Why not use the ARP bolts?
King racing shells and ARP bolts seem to be the favoured combination on the standard motor....
Not challenging - just curious

Thanks again

Andy
