Performance Eurowerks | S54 Rod Bearings Replacement Services

Rod bearings has been quite the hot topic for many of the BMW M cars. Unfortunately, many of the motors have been subject to exacerbated rod bearing wear, so much that BMW even offered a warrantied replacement during the E46 M3 production. As these cars age and enthusiasts continue to enjoy them for the long haul, we find that doing a proper rod bearing replacement should be considered a routine preventative maintenance measure in assuring you'll be enjoying your S54B32 without any hiccups.

From our experience, we are able to put together a fairly thorough kit that covers well majority of the bases during the overhaul. In addition, we offer optional services that can be conducted at the same time to save drastically in future labor.
