Looking at doing the rod bearings on my e46 m3.
Anyone suggestions for who's trusted to do it in kzn.?.

Have it done at BMW. Last time I checked rod bearings was a ±R15k job at BMW, and they will warranty it.

If you don't come right with BMW contact Seedat on 082 575 7164. Part of the E46erz crew and has a great guy they use for all their club cars.

Update: got a quote for 20k at a local shop.
With acl bearings and arp bolts. Or oem bmw.is not sure which way to go, but I'm leaning towards oem , as I read about some tolerance clearance needed for acl bearings
