Genuine BMW Engine Connecting Rod Bolt

Genuine BMW engine connecting rod bolts are original equipment fasteners that secure the connecting rod cap to the connecting rod. Also called con rod bolts or rod cap bolts, they hold the rod assembly together around the crankshaft journal during engine operation.

Key Features:

• Genuine BMW OEM part: Made to BMW factory specifications for fit and function.
• Built for high-stress service: Connecting rod bolts carry heavy cyclic loads in the engine's rotating assembly.
• Correct clamping of the rod cap: Keeps the rod cap aligned and tight against the rod for proper bearing support.
• Engine rebuild and repair use: Suited to engine overhauls, bearing replacement and rod service.

Connecting rod bolts are commonly torque-to-yield fasteners. Follow BMW service procedures for tightening sequence, torque and angle specifications, and replacement of fasteners. Choose the variant that matches your application from the options listed on this page.
