Product Information

The S65 V8 found in the E9X M3's was derived from the S85 V10. Because of this many of the things that made the S85 V10 great also mean many parts are shared. This includes the construction of the engine. In this case the S65 V8 uses the same connecting rods as the S85 V10 which means they are a known wear item. Early product S65 engines came with the same identical bearing that was installed during the entirety of the S85 construction.

In mid-2010, BMW introduced a new rod bearing made out of Bi-metal aluminum. This was not only to ensure better durability of the rod bearings but also to meet new EU standards in regards to the use of copper and hard metals in engine components. The newer bearing which is featured in this kit tends to not have the same extreme wear issues since the clearance was improved and the bearing is much more durable compared to the original lead bearings.

This kit includes 702 and 703 connecting rod bearing shells along with Genuine BMW connecting rod bolts. In addition to that this kit includes all other replacement hardware that is required for an S65 rod bearing service in which the engine is left in the engine bay.

Engine Connecting Rod Bearing

An Engine Connecting Rod Bearing is a precision bearing located between the connecting rod and the crankshaft journal in an internal combustion engine. Its role is to allow smooth rotation of the crankshaft while reducing friction and wear. These bearings are typically made from layers of soft metals (like copper, lead, or aluminum alloys) that can withstand high loads while still being sacrificial (wearing out before the crankshaft does).

Engine Connecting Rod Bearing Failure Symptoms
  • Knocking or tapping noise ("rod knock") – deep metallic knocking from the engine, especially under load or acceleration.
  • Low oil pressure – worn bearings create excess clearance, reducing oil pressure.
  • Metal shavings in oil – bearing material may flake off and appear in the oil or on the drain plug.

About Genuine BMW

The original parts used by BMW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine BMW” brand. When ordering a Genuine BMW part you are guaranteed to get the same part that you would pick up from your local dealerships part department. Genuine BMW parts have been built to BMW’s stringent standards and are the same quality of the original parts used to build your Ultimate Driving Machine.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your BMW are not necessarily manufactured by BMW. No cause for concern, as BMW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for BMW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine BMW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a BMW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
