Bearings for BMW 5 Series E39 (1996-2003)

Clear BMW chassis

Please ensure your correct model is selected

Engine bearings ensure that the rotating assemblies spin smoothly ensuring optimal performance and longevity. As the engine ages, these bearings can become worn and thin which allows excess play and increased wear. If the engiine becomes oil-starved, the bearing will become dry, heat up and spin around the shaft for a total failure. Turner carries Genuine BMW and high quality aftermarket and performance options to suit your individual needs.

Upgrade your engine build with Turner's WPC-treated Race Series Bearings, engineered for serious performance enthusiasts. Starting with ACL’s high-performance bearing shells, these Race Series bearings are built to withstand extreme RPMs and stress. Utilizing a "Duraglide" tri-metal construction and a high-strength overlay plate, these bearings offer superior oiling and heat resistance for high-RPM operation.

Our WPC-treated bearings take ACL’s already impressive design and enhance it even further. The WPC treatment process strengthens and smooths the bearing surface by firing high-speed, ultra-fine particles at the bearing shells, reducing friction and improving durability. This advanced surface treatment ensures smoother operation and improved heat dissipation, which are critical for any high-performance engine.

Key Features:

Duraglide Tri-Metal Construction: ACL's Race Series bearings feature a high-strength overlay for enhanced performance. Optimized Oiling: Designed to promote better oil flow during high-RPM conditions. Precise Fitment: Manufactured with OEM-level precision using micron tolerance machining. WPC-Treated for Strength: Surface treatment adds strength and reduces friction for improved engine performance. No Flash Plating: Allows for better heat transfer and bearing retention. Thermal Discharge Process: Smoother, stronger components through WPC’s unique thermal discharge technology. Enhanced Heat and Friction Resistance: Built to combat the biggest enemies of high-performance engines. Don’t settle for standard bearings—choose Turner Motorsport WPC-treated Race Series Bearings for the ultimate engine performance upgrade. Perfect for your next engine rebuild or rod bearing service!

This kit includes the basic components needed to replace S62 rod bearings, OE connecting rod bolts and WPC-treated rod bearings. WPC is a surface treatment that reduces friction and adds strength - two improvements that benefit internal engine components. Ultra-fine particles are fired at the surface at very high speeds, like shot-peening - but much, much smaller. The parts come out smoother and stronger due to thermal discharge. The two largest enemies of any high-performance engine are heat and friction - and WPC has found a way to reduce both. Kit includes: Upper and lower WPC-treated rod bearings for extra protection against wear Connecting rod bolts

What is WPC, you ask? WPC is a surface treatment that reduces friction and adds strength - two improvements that benefit internal engine components. Ultra-fine particles are fired at the surface at very high speeds, like shot-peening - but much, much smaller. The parts come out smoother and stronger due to thermal discharge. The two largest enemies of any high-performance engine are heat and friction - and WPC has found a way to reduce both. What are you waiting for?
