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.

SHADY1's bearings have the same markings with <CL> instead of the BMW logo.
Not sure if this was posted yet, but posting to help aid in a forum search at a later date.

I do have access to a few different sets of used factory bearings, but it will take a few weeks before I'm available to go take a look. When I do, I'll report back. I'll be able to take pictures of whatever the shop has in the way of replaced bearings. They are doing an S65 rod bearing replacement next week themselves.
If you're right about no color on factory bearings, then I'll bet Kawasaki is right about blue being +0.0005 (I think he meant 0.0005 not 0.0010), and red being +0.0000 and realoem just being a bit ambiguious about the rod bearing color designation.

Definitely appreciated.
We're also going to tear down our shop M3 @ 18,000mi in the upcoming weeks and get an oil sample to make an early mileage comparison. We'll be sure to post results when completed.
