The BMW B38 engine is known for reliability but also has a well-documented weakness: rod bearing wear and failure. Our 5150 AutoSport High-Performance Rod Bearing Kit is designed specifically for the B38, providing a complete solution to replace the factory connecting rod bearings and bolts with superior aftermarket components.
