Rod bearings 50k miles? -
12-28-2021, 05:48 AM
My local indy BMW shop is nagging me to look at my rod bearings, they say there is no sign of a problem, but they always need doing at some point...
Vehicle in question is a 2008 with only 50,000 miles on the factory motor.. surely the rod bearings don't need looking at? I have the subframe dropped right now so if it's worth going in now is the time...thoughts?

Are you sure they aren't confusing your car with the e9x M3 / S65
Honestly haven't seen or heard of this being an N54 issue, especially at 50k. I'd find a new shop Home of the JB4 the worlds most popular turbocharged tuning system! It is the sole responsibility of the purchaser and installer of any BMS part to employ the correct installation techniques required to ensure the proper operation of BMS parts, and BMS disclaims any and all liability for any part failure due to improper installation or use. It is the sole responsibility of the customer to verify that the use of their vehicle and items purchased comply with federal, state and local regulations. BMS claims no legal federal, state or local certification concerning pollution controlled motor vehicles or mandated emissions requirements. BMS products labeled for use only in competition racing vehicles may only be used on competition racing vehicles operated exclusively on a closed course in conjunction with a sanctioned racing event, in accordance with all federal and state laws, and may never be operated on public roads/highways.

This thought crossed my mind that they may be getting the N54 mixed up with the S65... There is a bit of a lack of choice in local shops here, wish there was more experience locally.

Is it a M1? In that case I can see where the confusion lies. Don’t need rod bearings done at 50,000 I ran 30psi from 50,000 to 150,000 and NEVER had any issues. Just keep good plus & coils, plenty of fuel and fresh oil
