Rod bearings wear

Hey everyone , just wanted to share my bearings the vehicle is 2010 e90 with approx 67k miles. What do you guys think about the wear ?

They do show some nasty wear.

There is a post in the technical section. Would be awesome if you could post there. Also, what did you throw back in there?

I couldn't find the thread for some reason lol. And I just purchased this vehicle from a bmw Tech so he included the bearings job for me along with other goodies and etc. it's the Oem updated bearings that I chose but I will be running redline 5w-50 oil , figures 10-60 is too thick for nyc winters. Yes I know the Oem has the issues but it was included with the car. So it was hard to say no. I will def change probably again in 30k miles or 40 and do oil test. Proper warmup and adequate changes.

TA And head gaskets we're also changed lol

On my 08 at 60k on 2014, the original bearings were slightly worse, with a little copper showing down the edges and not just along the parting lines.

Post me up there!!

Hopefully your clearance is improved with the new shells.

Cheers,

Mine were kind of like yours (2010 81K miles) - albeit yours look worse and with less mileage.
