How often do e9x M3 Bearings need replaced? It's recommended to replace the rod bearings every 60k miles for normal daily drivers. If you're heavy footed and like to use you're M3 as it was designed then I'd recommend to replace the rod bearings every 40k miles. This is my personal recommendation as we've seen these bearings with major wear at 40k miles from those who well.... do "spirited driving"
*The m3 v8 engine is the s65 and the m5 v10 engine is the s85, both are recommended to change rod bearings as stated above.

Great information, learned new details most other videos never provide like the crack in the rods, torquing bolts and how to easily spot worn engine mounts based on oil pan clearance. I don't have the skills or space to DIY, but I love watching informational videos like these!

Great video! There is one thing I believe everyone should do during the assembly this type of connecting rods - just tight the bolts with your fingers and check if you can feel the mating point with your finger before you try to torque it. You shouldn't and if you can then double check the position of the cap. It might happen that the cap will be off just a fraction of a millimeter and the two surfaces will not mate perfectly. If you try to torque the bolts in this situation you will destroy the connecting rod and ruin your day.

Ohh I wanted to see the stretch gauge. I have always been apprehensive on using the ARP Rod bolts. Mostly because the most accurate way to measure is through the actual stretch of the bolt. And i do not have the experience or tools to do that so we've stuck with the factory bolts. But of course we do BMWs torque the bolts Release of the bolts 3 times method.

The problem is solved by using less thick oil. 10w60 is relevant only when using the car on the track, where 90% of the time the car is in full throttle mode. For urban conditions, 0w40 oil is suitable, the viscosity of which allows you to lubricate the liners and prevent their failure. Conclusion: if you drive on the track - 10W60, use the car in urban conditions - do not pour such thick oil, 0w40 or 5w40 will do and the connecting rod bearings will live. 😊

It’s common with a few engines, notably the S65 and S85 but also the S54 to a lesser extent I believe. Some attribute this to the super tight bearing tolerances from factory and the thick 10W60 oil these engines run on; exacerbated by not properly warming up a cold engine before revving it out.

i got one question which has made me curious, I own 2008 m3 with 89,000 miles on it. I’ve been owning it since the past 3 months and the car’s been great so far. 10w60 always was used in this car, and the rod bearings are stock… but Recently since 2 weeks I’ve changed from 10w60 to 0w40 and the car has been running better. I did it because my mechanic recommended it and said it’s the best for the s65 and s85 in the place I live. I asked him if I still have to do the rod bearing change cuz 0w40 is a thinner oil unlike 10w60, and he told me there is no need. So just out of curiosity I wanted to ask here, do I need to do rod bearings (which have wear let’s assume, don’t know how they look) even if I changed to thinner oil? I’ve read online about many s65 and s85 owners changing to 0w40 and saying it’s better than 10w60, rod bearing change here is very expensive and I can’t afford to do it right now.. He also made great point, he mentioned how lambo gallardo for example or Ferrari 430 when they were released, the oil spec was 0w40 and not 10w60, so how come s65 and s85 need 10w60? It’s too thick

Hey question Jamie love your videos! 2014 535i xDrive N55. How reliable overall is this car? I’m no stranger to BMWs. Are N55s known for rod bearing issues? I have 86k miles on it. Only problem is drivers side headlight has moisture in it which killed my TMS module triggering multiple warnings. Adaptive LEDs. I have a guy that can rebuild the lights for me but long term how do they hold up :)?

Nice video two things though I don’t believe the motors are built too tight I believe they are actually a bit loose from the factory (hence the 10w60), so not sure the looser bearings was a good idea the right way is to measure them with plasti-gauge or something similar. People using the wrong oil or not letting the car warm up properly is usual the cause of premature wear. Also you actually will get an incorrect torque reading if you lube up the threads or shank of a bolt, so unless those particular bolts require it by the manufacturer for accuracy that wouldn’t be the right thing to do. Definitely not something to do on the oem bolts if you were putting factory replacement parts back instead. Great content made it look easy shows what having the right tools for job can do for you.

Imo it is always best to lubricant threads. Also if you are referring to the rod bolts they are ARP, ARP specifies to lube their bolts so that they get torqued correctly.

I'm curious as to what the oil pressure reading was, pre-repair and post-repair due to the additional bearing clearance. Are you having your customer run the same oil viscosity or having them go up in 'thickness'?

He shows a 10w 60 right at the end for oil thickness. I know this car took a thick oil, I think 10/60 was factory spec?

So how did the engine run after charging the rod bearings? And change in oil pressure with less tolerance?

Hey Jamie, one off topic question. Here in Europe it says that the oil in my 320d should be changed every 30k km (18,5k miles). That seems a bit too much. What is your take on that?

I'm no Jamie, but I would recommend cutting that number in half - every 15k km. This type of questions usually leads to a long discussion without any definitive closure.

My rule of thumb for my personal cars and my customers is to change oil every 5,000 miles (8k km). It’s cheap insurance and the high mileage cars in excellent running condition seem to be the ones who change their oil every 5k miles or so. 👍🏻
