The S85 engine has a known history of rod bearing failure. If your engine is higher mileage, don't let this catastrophic failure happen to you. Replace your rod bearings and prevent a spun bearing, a failure that has the potential to trash your crankshaft.

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? Use WPC-treated bearings on your next engine build or rod bearing service!

Enhanced Durability: The WPC Performance Rod Bearing Replacement Kit is designed with superior materials and manufacturing processes. WPC treatment reinforces the surface of the bearings, making them highly resistant to wear, which is essential for aging engines like the S14. This durability ensures your engine will stand the test of time, even under strenuous driving conditions. Improved Performance: By reducing friction and wear, WPC-treated rod bearings allow for smoother and more efficient engine operation. This translates into increased power and responsiveness, providing you with a more exhilarating driving experience. Whether you're tearing up the track or enjoying a spirited weekend drive, you'll notice a difference in your vehicle's performance. Preventative Maintenance: Proactively replacing your rod bearings and bolts with the WPC Performance Kit can prevent potential engine failures. As engines age and accumulate miles, wear and tear become inevitable. These components help you address this issue head-on, preventing costly engine damage and repairs down the road. This is especially crucial for BMW E30 M3 owners who value their investment. Long-Term Cost Savings: While the initial investment in a WPC Performance Rod Bearing Replacement Kit may seem substantial, it's a small price to pay for the long-term benefits. Preventing engine failure and costly repairs can save you thousands of dollars over the life of your vehicle, not to mention the peace of mind that comes with knowing your BMW is built for reliability.
