    BMW S65 Engine (E9x M3) - Rod Bearings Replacement

    Hi folks,

    I want to go for Rod Bearings replacement, and I've been hearing many names for many brands regarding Rod Bearings. Some mention BE Bearings, while others mention WPC Coated ones.

    I want to get opinions about what the best setup to go for.

    Your opinions are highly appreciated

    BE bearings with BE Spec ARP 2000 Rod Bolts.

    Also, follow the BE torque specification on the rod bolts.

      Hi, BE is fine, Wpc are good as well, and just original Bmw are very good as well because after 2011 original road bearing were improved
