BMW names it the bearing shell, blue, and tags it with size 49,00MM(0). This is the upper rod shell, and it is priced each and sold individually. Made in Germany, it has been in production since September 1998. A rod bearing is a soft, layered metal shell between the connecting rod and the crank journal, built to take the load and wear before the crankshaft does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginal BMW Parts carry a 24-month parts warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBMW applies this shell to the S62 engine in the E39 M5 and E52 Z8, and its data also places it in the ALPINA V8 version of the Z8.

BMW also flags this part as having a limited storage life, so check the expiry date printed on the parts label when it arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: BMW (Genuine), made in Germany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 11-24-1-407-493\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW part name: Bearing shell, blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize designation: 49.00 mm (0)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: upper connecting rod bearing shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine: S62 V8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction start: September 1998\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited storage life; expiry date on the parts label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePriced and sold individually, one shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 24-month parts warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat signs point to worn rod bearings?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA deep metallic knock under load or acceleration, low oil pressure from excess clearance, and metal flakes in the oil or on the drain plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this sold as a set?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is one upper shell, priced each, so order the quantity your rebuild requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens if worn shells stay in service?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe shell can deform and lead to engine failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePMB supplies Genuine BMW internals for S62 rebuilds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the table below for the exact year, model, submodel, and any listed notes.
