Saw from this thread. https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1698983
Main bearing 1 spun and rod bearing 1 got beat up. Seems to be related to an agressive catless tune being run on a car with cats that got melted from the tune and then detonation happened. BE bearings 25k-ish miles and 120-ish track days. All the bearings look pretty good besides the bearing trashed by the failed main bearing. |

You don’t have a pic of the mains/big end bearings by chance from the tear down? Sorry to quote a post from Jan forum.. looking at all these (far from acceptable) rod bearing pics has got me worried about the mains, if there’s a thread with main bearings please point me in that direction please, google brings up rod, rod and more rod bearing topics. If BMW dropped the ball that hard with the rod bearings, I hope they got the mains right! |

They weren't too hammered but in worse shape than I was expecting based on what I've seen with other 2011's with more miles. That being said, I have a late 2010 build, I think I have the older style bearings. That one did have a the groove you can see. Who knows. They're done now and I plan on getting my money's worth.

Mine are 088/089 version. I'm now extra glad to have them done.

Thanks for the post , and although your photos are rather dark (& theirs some oil left) they don't seem too bad for S65 shells (the Alu one's do generally seem to fair better, not saying they're good before I get any engine builders jumping on my back! ).
Although has 1 worn through a layer? Bottom row, 3rd from the left. (can you take a brighter pic and with the oil cleaned off?).

Sorry if this has been answered. Why is the wear pattern not centered? |

Ouch, nasty looking bearings, lots of copper showing, no question there you were on borrowed time!
(Btw, no idea about your question).

Here are mine ... got them changed a week ago ... 2012 e92 M3, 85K miles, 10W60 all its life every 7-8K miles after the initial 1200 mile service. OEM oil ( castrol initially, then shell when Bmw switched over). Marginally more oil consumption with shell than Castrol ....
As usual ... kudos to deansbimmer for excellent service One additional point ... switched over to Motul 10W60 for one oil change prior to bearing change (no particular reason) and noticed a significant drop in oil consumption ... don't know what to make of it ... monitoring for now Edit — deansbimmer has uploaded the photos of my old bearings ... thx man !!!! |

Excellent quality photos!
Some worn through to copper, & curiously some wearing to the side (as opposed to Mhouse's shells wearing the middle) & wearing at the parting lines. To Deansbimmer and other engine builders Am I right in saying that wear at the parting lines would be due to over torquing (& so crushing)? And could the wear to the sides be due to normal 'flexing' (of crank, rods, block) not being able to be taken up by the tight clearances? Or could it be due to slightly twisted rods?? (I'm thinking of the King or Clevite sample photos here). K-M3 Unless I'm going blind, theirs no photos in your post
