Miss shifted and over reved engine!

[M3///Driver]

I think you are fine.....but

I would think the valve springs and valves would be of greater concern.

How are the rod bearing hurt with over reving?

BTW, if I keep my car long enough, I will change my rod bearing...

First track event this weekend with my E46 M3 ....

WITH NEW ROD BEARING

I am not sure lol, but the mechanic told me if it doesn't have any odd sounds, then it means nothing is touching, so the valve should be okay. But he said I might of accelerated the bearing wear...

Did your rear wheels lock up?

Buy a cheap scope camera and take this opportunity to change your plugs. Inspect your pistons, make sure there was no valve contact, if that checks out, you're probably good to go.

Although, now would be a good time to consider a new color of M3 XD

It sounds like you got lucky though man.

A trick to prevent this from the old E36 days. When going into 4th and 6th gear, grab the shift knob backhand style, so that your thumb is effectively facing down towards your transmission.

When your thumb is facing up, you have a tendency to to drop it into a lower gear by accident, it happens rarely, but money shifts weren't uncommon in E36's and I've never had that issue due to how I shifted.

My rear wheels didn't lock up, but i was accelerating fast and the car all of sudden stopped accelerating that's when I realized I went to the wrong gear..

When the wheels lock up, that's usually a good indication of a broken timing chain, among other things/red lights.

You should be fine though man. Just go drive the shit out of it just to be sure.

Anyone where I can get the old style apr2000 rod bolts?

[M3Bimmer77]

That is the worst!!!!! Sell the trashy piece of ... leftover to me!!!! Lol. At least you are recognizing what you are.

Dude probably nothing happened. One advice....unit you learn how to drive an MT, get a DCT

[Boiled Peanut]

Any lesson you pay for is a lesson you learn. I'm quite positive the OP will never money shift again.

We have all done it a some point, just earlier in our life when the cars were not as expensive!

[JDM_CL9]

I would go get an oil analysis done just for piece of mind.

We all have to learn how to drive a MT sometime, im sure he learned his lesson and wont do it again. Nobody started out driving a manual like a champ.

I am gonna get my bearings replace just for the sake of it, I am over 90k kms already, so it's probably around time too

[shu5892001]

I am looking for arp 2000 rod bolts, and I don't think a lot of vendors have that any more, they seem to carry the 625 ones.

I ordered these, can anyone confirm that this is the right one?

VAC and EAS carries the old style ARP2000 rod bolts. But the latest data gathered by regular guy indicated that these might not be ideal. He will be gathering data on the 625+ next week supposedly. You might want to check with the folks to see which bolts you should use. Good luck.

Please start a post afterwards and let us know the conditions of the bearings.

Sure!

We can check the highest RPM your car has reached, along with the highest speed achieved and the number of times your car has reached redline. We've seen cars that have hit 9,000 RPM and are still running today.

We'll send over a PM with more information.

[Gbyleveldt]

Using Tool32, you can check by opening the MSS60.prg file and querying the status_freezeframe_vmax option for max speed. Status_freezeframe_nmax gives you highest rpm and the mileage it was done at and the amount of times the car has been redlined.

I was worried about a recent money shift on my car, but it turns out it only went to 8600 rpm. Sure, it's still over 8400 max rpm but I feared the worst!

This sounds to me like you might have not actually fully engaged 2nd. First off, you would have heard a massive rev. And that would have been accompanied by a notable deceleration. A pause in acceleration makes it sound like you may have just been in neutral...

I'd be surprised to learn that even this engine could withstand a full, clutch out money shift into 2nd at 3rd redline, ~100 mph. Someone else can do the rpm calcs on that, but something like 13-14k rpm? And it runs fine? Seems unlikely.
