ARP Upgraded Rod Bolt Kit – BMW M3 S65

Set of 16 connecting rod bolts, made by ARP — the world leader in fastener technology. Each bolt is made of ARP2000 material, which is able to achieve a clamp load of 220,000 psi. These custom-made rod bolts are designed to be used on BMW factory connecting rods. If you’re replacing your rod bearings, these rod bolts are far superior to the standard OE BMW fasteners in terms of durability and ability to withstand stresses. This set of rod bolts is made specifically for the S65 engine.  This set does not come with the ARP Lube.

• Superb Clamp Load: Each ARP2000 bolt is rated up to 220,000 psi, providing exceptional strength under high stress.
• Direct-Fit Design: Made to match factory BMW connecting rods, so installation is straightforward during any rod bearing service.
• Race-Proven Durability: ARP fasteners have dominated motorsport categories like NASCAR, IndyCar, and Formula 1 thanks to rigorous quality control and superior manufacturing.

When replacing your rod bearings, choosing ARP bolts ensures far greater fatigue resistance and longevity than the stock OE BMW hardware. Whether you hit the track, enjoy relaxing weekend drives, or simply demand the best for your M3, this kit offers the peace of mind enthusiasts crave.

About ARP

They say that to be successful you must identify a need and satisfy it. Back in the early 1970s, racing enthusiast Gary Holzapfel saw that many of his friends’ broken engines were caused by fastener failure. At the time, there were no commercially available studs and bolts up to the challenge. So Holzapfel called upon his many years of fastener-making experience for a leading aerospace subcontractor and founded ARP (Automotive Racing Products).

In the ensuing years, the firm has grown from what was literally a backyard garage workshop into a highly diversified manufacturer with seven operational entities in Southern California with a combined area in excess of 200,000 square feet. These include forging, heat-treating, machining, quality control finishing and packaging/warehousing facilities in Santa Paula and Ventura, California.

Today, ARP’s product line contains thousands of part numbers and has expanded to include virtually every fastener found in an engine and driveline and throughout the suspension and frame. These range from quality high-performance OEM replacement parts to exotic specialty hardware for Formula 1, IndyCar, NASCAR, and NHRA drag racing and marine applications.
