Designed and manufactured by Clevite to BE Bearing specifications.
These bearings replace the factory BMW rod bearings. The original BMW bearings have too little clearance, which leads to premature bearing wear and can cause early engine failure. Furthermore, the factory BMW bearings are made from tin-aluminum which are 5-times harder than a softer lead-copper bearing design. A softer bearing is better for your engine and more tolerant of foreign particles suspended in your oil.
These BE Bearings feature a state-of-the-art Clevite Tri-Metal design with the Clevite Tri-Armor(tm) coating.
- Applicable for BMW engines S65B40
- Standard clearance (+0.001's also available)
- Sold as complete set (8-cylinders)
- Lead-copper design for greater durability and easy tracking with oil analysis like Blackstone (recommended).
- Designed with extra clearance to "fix" the BMW rod bearing design flaw.
- Designed for use with factory 10W60 weight oils.
- Tri-Armor coated for low conditions during cold start
- Ideal for start-stop vehicles
- Standard Size
When and why is it so important to change the connecting rod bearings in my S65?
BMW Performance S65 Connecting Rod Bolt Set - BE Bearings BE-CRB50-S65
Designed by BE Bearings, manufactured by ARP. These custom made rod bolts are designed to be used on BMW factory connecting rods. BE Bearings worked with ARP to come up with custom rod bolt torque specifications to ensure minimal rod big end bore distortion. Our bolts have been measured and verified to guarantee minimal bore distortion, and stay within the ARP torque specification.

Many car manufacturers now insist on the latest specification full synthetic oil, which you have to use at every oil change in order to protect your warranty and enable your engine to perform at its best. Manufacturers of high performance European cars have been recommending full synthetic motor oils for well over a decade. Many of these manufacturers, including Audi, Volkswagen, Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin recommend Castrol® EDGE®, which is an advanced full synthetic.
Castrol® EDGE® also meets the specifications required by BMW and Mercedes Benz. That's because Castrol® engineers work directly with auto makers to create the strongest possible motor oils, engineered specifically for the surface types and tolerances found within these engines. In addition to meeting the manufacturers' recommendations, full synthetic oils offer benefits like extended drain intervals, better performance in high operating temperatures and enhanced protection for engines under the extreme stress of towing. That's why every engine will benefit from full synthetic oil, even if your vehicle's manufacturer doesn't yet insist on it.
