Rod Bearings done at 98k
Here are the rod bearings out of my 2011 E92 M3 Competition. Not to bad for 98k on the clock. Bought the car with 58k, always did the oil changes around 8k, always let the car warm up for at least 5min before driving.

Posted in wrong location earlier. Sorry.
Rod bearings at 110,xxx miles off a 2011.5 Done by SV Bimmer in Santa Clara, CA Reports seemed pretty good the last 20k miles. Start up procedure was wait until warm up phase completes and drive normal with low rpms until fully warmed up. Since most of the car's life was under two other people's ownership I can't say whether owner error attributed to excessive rod bearing wear. First oil report I got back mentioned previous owner might have put in 10w30 which was not very reassuring. |

bumping an old thread and a very old post.
I contacted Lang. They do sell mixed sets of ACL, but they ***DO NOT*** measure any bearing from any set prior to selling. I was specifically told they only mix the sets and sell, as the measuring was supposed to be done by ACL so it wasn't their responsibility to check them. If I wanted lang to measure a set before selling it to me, then it would be several hundred $ more, and would essentially be the same cost of BE bearings.

ACL ships sets as 8 shells per pack with two packs in each S65 kit. ACL measures each shell from their assembly line and packs similar thickness shells together into those packs of 8. With a target bore diameter in mind, they match a pack of "thin" shells with a pack of "thick" shells, combining them into a full set that will yield the proper bearing clearance. Therefore, if you blindly take half of an HX (extra clearance) set and put them with half of a set of H (std clearance) bearings, you have no idea whether you're mixing those "thin" shells with other "thin" shells, or vice-versa. I've measured HX shells with the same thickness as their standard H shells. This is a simplified explanation but the only way to ensure sets are being matched properly is to measure them.

Just did mine yesterday. Bought this 2008 6MT coupe a month ago, first thing in my mind is rod bearings before driving it. Now i can really enjoy driving it. Cylinder 1 and 7 seems to show a hint of cooper and clearance is actually just within specs according to plastigauge. 0.038? Replaced with BE bearings and BE ARP bolts and engine mounts. Wonder whats going to happen down the road? Is at 93000km now. Ig @awxfr92

A few more examples of cars we did here at SSR Performance. Been crazy busy so have not had time to upload. These photos came out darker than I would have hoped, but you get the point.

2013 E92 rod bearings replaced with 34,726 miles;
I'm 2nd owner since 20,700 miles; oil changed every 5k miles or 6mos, which ever comes first with only Castrol TWS 10w-60. Oil always properly warmed up before driving hard. First owner service records show only annual oil changes by dealer with first 1200 mile service delayed until 2800 miles, if that has anything to do with proper break-in and early bearing wear. Replaced with BE rod bearings and BE ARP bolts. If anyone in Portland area looking to change out RBs to the back-ordered BE kit, give AR Auto Service in Lake Oswego, OR a call. They have two more pre-purchased BE kits waiting for a customer as of July 1st.

Update on the class action lawsuit:
https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/di...s-class-76754/ They appear to have been denied class status because they could not pass the Rule 23 numerosity requirements. IANAL, so maybe I read the details wrong. |
