BMW S85 Comprehensive Rod Bearing Replacement Kit - 11247841703KT2

This package provides a complete solution for replacing the rod bearings in the S85 V10 engine used in the E60/E61 M5 and E63/E64 M6. It includes both connecting rod bearing sets and all twenty new rod bolts, followed by oil pan sealing hardware, filtration, and high-pressure VANOS service components — ensuring the job is completed thoroughly and with lasting reliability.

The S85’s high-revving, naturally aspirated V10 reaches an 8,250 RPM redline. To achieve this, BMW designed exceptionally narrow rod bearings to minimize internal friction, but the trade-off is accelerated wear. Proactive replacement of these bearings helps prevent severe engine damage and preserves long-term performance.

Assembled by GEMS autocraft:
This comprehensive kit has been curated by GEMS autocraft to provide all the mechanical, sealing, and hydraulic components needed to complete the job in one visit. The selection reflects the exact parts we use in our in-house workshop services, chosen for proper fit and long-term dependability.

Along with the primary components, we include supporting items that experience has shown are best replaced at the same time. This ensures a thorough service, preserves system integrity, and helps prevent repeated labor down the line.

Our approach removes uncertainty and streamlines the process. With every critical part included, the service can be completed correctly the first time.
