Connecting Rods

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)

Protect your S65 engine from potential rod bearing failure by choosing the BE Bearings and Clevite collaboration. These upgraded rod bearings offer increased clearance and a lead-copper material composition, safeguarding against catastrophic engine failure caused by spun bearings. The innovative Clevite Tri-Metal design, featuring Tri-Armor™ coating, ensures improved lubrication, wear prevention, and tolerance to foreign particles in the oil. The softer bearings are gentle on your engine and enable accurate oil testing to monitor engine wear.

This kit includes:

• Upper and lower BE Bearings upgraded rod bearings
• Hardware
• Oil filter
• Castrol TWS Edge Professional
• Oil pan gasket
• RedLine assembly lube

Enhance your S65 engine's durability and performance with this comprehensive kit from Turner Motorsport.

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!
