Product Description
BMW S65 Connecting Rod Set - ItalianRP IRPR314
The ItalianRP connecting rods are built for the high-revving BMW S65B40 4.0L V8 engine found in the E90, E92, and E93 M3. Designed and made in Italy, these rods are all about performance, precision, and reliability. They come in two versions—Gold and Platinum—so you can choose the right balance of strength, weight, and budget for your build. The Gold rods use tough 34CrNiMo6 steel for solid performance, while the Platinum line steps it up with even lighter and stronger 35NCD16 steel, perfect for serious track or high-power street setups. You can also choose from several bolt options like VIMI2500, L19, or Custom Age to match your specific needs. Whether you're building a race engine or just want peace of mind on spirited drives, these rods are a smart upgrade for any S65-powered M3.
