BMW S65 BE Bearings Connecting Rod Bearing Upgrade Set is designed to address the known flaws in the factory BMW rod bearings, particularly for the S65B40 engine. Manufactured by Clevite to BE Bearing specifications, this set provides a crucial upgrade with its enhanced materials and design, ensuring improved performance and durability.

The original BMW bearings have minimal clearance, which leads to premature wear and potential engine failure. This upgrade replaces the tin-aluminum factory bearings with a superior silver-oxide-coated tri-metal "F" series design. The new bearings can handle 30% more load, offer better performance in low oil conditions, and are more forgiving of foreign particles in the oil. Designed specifically for BMW S65 engines, these bearings provide optimal performance for high-horsepower applications.

• Designed specifically for BMW S65B40 engines
• Silver-oxide coating withstands 30% more load capacity
• Improved performance under low-oil and boundary conditions
• Stronger backing material for enhanced durability
• Corrects factory BMW rod bearing clearance issue
• Ideal for high-horsepower applications and factory 10W60 weight oils
• Complete set for 8 cylinders, ready for installation

Fits the following BMWs:

• 2008-2013 E9X BMW M3 (S65)

Designed by BE Bearings, manufactured by ARP.  These custom made rod bolts are designed to be used on BMW factory connecting rods.  BE Bearings worked with ARP to come up with custom rod bolt torque specifications to ensure minimal rod big end bore distortion.  Their bolts have been measured and verified to guarantee minimal bore distortion, and stay within the ARP torque specification.

M7 Oil Catch Can Kit for MINIs

Newly Updated Kit for Improved Engine Performance

The newly updated R55 through R59 Oil Catch Can kit for MINIs equipped with the N16 or N18 engine comes with a "designed-to-fit" stainless steel bracket, mounting hardware, and pre-assembled hoses. Installation is super easy... no drilling and no special tools are needed.

Note: This kit has been redesigned to fit on the firewall directly behind the outlet of the airbox. It uses the factory tab located on the firewall.

Why You Need an Oil Catch Can

"Forum experts and social hysteria" may say an OCC is not needed, but we beg to differ. Many MINI owners suffer from carbon buildup on their intake valve due to oil being recycled through the intake tract to be burned.

With the M7 Oil Catch Can, your MINI Cooper's engine will be protected from excessive oil and hydrocarbon buildup, which leads to performance-hindering oil film and sludge along your intake tract, on your engine control sensors, and on your engine's intake valves.

This oil film & sludge can appear in other critical places throughout the engine, such as the intercooler and the MAF sensor (Mass Air Flow), where clean surfaces are critical for maximized heat transfer and engine performance.

Features and Benefits

• Prevents intake tract oil contamination and intake valve damage
• Prevents premature sensor failure
• Keeps engine performance at peak levels
• Increases flow area by 77% for improved oil separation
• Includes billet aluminum oil catch can with coalescing oil separation technology and integrated dipstick
• Comes with two molded oil-resistant silicone hoses with STS technology (available in Red or Black)
• Includes installation hardware kit and printed instructions
• 100% carbon fiber housing with CNC machined billet aluminum top and bottom

Easy Installation

With our exclusive "Exact-Fit" pre-assembled hose kit and brackets, installation is super-easy. All hoses, brackets, clamps, necessary fittings, and easy-to-follow detailed step-by-step instructions are included. An oil drain plug and an easy-to-view sight tube are also provided, allowing you to monitor the oil level in the can.

Beware of other "low-cost" catch can systems that use silicone hoses, as oil and silicone are not compatible and silicone hoses will eventually deteriorate, causing a mess in your engine compartment. Access Secret Premium Dashboard
