This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 11217576766 (11 21 7 576 766) and is described as a upper thrust bearing shell for the N63 and S63 engines used in F10 550i/M5, G30 M550i, F90 M5, F06/F13 650i/M6, F02 750i, G12 750i, E70 X5/X5M, F15 X5, F85 X5M, G05 X5, E71 X5/X6M, F86 X6M, and G07 X7 xDrive50i. This is an upper guide shell, with a yellow color code (block ID A-H), and is the standard 65.00mm size.

Important Bearing ID Note: BMW has a different way of identifying N63 main and rod bearings. Locate a letter code on the passenger side of the engine block and combine that with a letter on the front of the crankshaft. There are 9 different combinations using 3 colors. It would not be unusual to have a mix of codes and colors. Note that bearing position 3 is the thrust bearing shells and are different part number than the rest. The oil clearance is 0.020-0.046mm (0.0007-0.0018") for each crank journal (but BMW does not tell you which color is the thinnest-thickest). Start with the bearing codes from your engine and contact us if any of your journals have a too-large gap.

This is a Genuine BMW N63/S63 guide bearing shell with a two year warranty. Buying a Genuine part will usually be more expensive than an OEM or aftermarket brand but you are assured that it meets BMW's designs for fitment, performance, and longevity. It will also be the very latest design, incorporating any updates or revisions that an aftermarket brand typically will ignore.
