The 2008 receipt lists the M5 rod bearing bottom part number, and I think that might be because the parts list wasn't yet available. ??? But I do know that realoem lists the 1702 bearing as the only bottom bearing ever used on the S65, and the 1703 bearing shared with S85 and S65 during the entire production run.
S85 uses the same blue rod bearing (top shell: 11 24 784 1703) as S65, but has a different red bearing (bottom shell: 11 24 783 8088).

I hope not because I put the -702 red on the bottom of my S85 a few weeks ago when I did mine myself. I had Vincent at Bimmerzone check the correct part numbers using my VIN (08 M5) with his BMW parts contact and I got the 703 and 702 sent. So far it's running great.
The old ones had Clevite 113 stamped on the back but the new ones didn't and had the BMW logo stamped on them with the color code on the side.
Edit: Just found this. Says ended.
