Original BMW connecting rod bolt 11-24-7-589-671 clamps the rod bearing cap to the connecting rod on four-, six-, and twelve-cylinder BMW engines in the 3 Series, 5 Series, 7 Series, 8 Series, X3, X5, Z3, and Z4 from 1988–2006. The connecting rod wraps around a crankshaft journal, and the bearing cap closes that loop around the rod bearing, held in place by bolts like this one.

This number has been in BMW production since February 2008. It supersedes the earlier bolt 11-24-1-744-319, and BMW marks the change as exchangeable retrospectively, so the current bolt can be used in engines that left the factory with the older number. Parts cross-references also tie it to 11-24-7-558-877. BMW's parts data places this bolt in the M40 and M42 four-cylinder engines of the E30 318i and 318is, the M52 in the E36 328i and E39 528i, the M54 in the E46 330i and E39 530i, the M70 V12 in the E32 750iL, and the M73 V12 in the E38 750iL.
