Genuine BMW Upper Rod Bearing, Yellow, Standard - 228i/328i/428i, 135i/M235i/335i/435i, 1M/M2/M3/M4

This is the standard size replacement upper rod bearing shell with Yellow color code for N20, N26, N54, N55, and S55 BMW engines. The shell is the top half of the bearing and fits in the connecting rod itself.

Engine manufacturers, including BMW, color-code their bearing parts to match crankshaft and connecting rod sizes. This upper bearing part number carries the Yellow code and should only be used to replace other Yellow bearings. It must be paired with the matching Red lower bearing shell. The Yellow/Red pairings are known as "R Classification" (a Violet/Blue pairing is "B"). Classifications can be found on the front face of the first crankshaft counterweight. Each engine can have different mixtures of B or R bearings.

Bearings are also sold by size. This is the standard 56.0mm inside diameter size.

Note: connecting rod bolts cannot be re-used. They are stretch-to-yield and must be replaced.
