BMW M3 S65 Rod Bearing Replacement - E90 E92 E93 - Preventative Maintenance UK
BMW M3 E90 E92 E93 S65 V8 rod bearing replacement is essential preventative maintenance for long term engine health. The S65 V8 in the E9X M3 is known for premature rod bearing wear and many M3 owners choose to replace the conrod bearings before 60,000 to 70,000 miles to avoid costly engine failure. Our BMW M3 rod bearing service uses proven parts, OEM gaskets and fluids, and ARP hardware for reliability and peace of mind. We have carried out this service on our own cars and for many happy customers across the UK.

Why replace S65 rod bearings on the E9X M3
The S65 V8 rod bearings are a known weak point on the E90 E92 E93 M3 and can show accelerated wear far earlier than expected. Replacing the rod bearing shells and bolts as preventative maintenance helps protect the bottom end, reduce risk of bearing failure, and keep your BMW M3 performing as it should. If you are buying or owning an E9X M3, a documented rod bearing replacement adds value and confidence.
