2008 E90 S65 Rod Bearing

tsylatac · 08-25-2016, 06:57 PM

Just adding another experience to the library of threads. Had my rod bearing job done as "preventative maintenance" at a little under 74k miles. Don't know much about the history of the car. Went with the BE Bearings and had the work done at Ace Performance Systems in MA. Tops are shown and match the lowers on the right which were all ok as was the crank.

Nice! What rod bolts did you go with?

These as worn as are they are look great for having even wear. Going with the be bearings should help out a lot opening up your clearance.
