It looks to me from the pictures that copper is showing on 5 of the bearings. If that is what I am seeing, the bearings are not OK.

I thought they were oil residues.

Why stop there man, just replace the whole engine...

Great if we could sum the RB replacements up for an easy overview rather than a sillion diff threads: https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1253084

In all seriousness, those bearings do not look great. You should not see copper - ever. That is a sign of abnormal wear.

I think everyone on the forum is in a bad mood cause of this crappy winter we have been having!! You did right by your S65.

Enjoy your ride and here is hoping it provides you with many years of joyful driving experiences.

Cheers,

No problem with them - Side Street mechanic scam

They’re all in denial, as having approximately 200 members just on here who had blown their motors due to rod bearing...yet they say there’s no issue. Just like that one member couple years ago who joined their bandwagon just to have his engine blow few months after that

If a lie is only printed often enough, it becomes a quasi-truth, and if such a truth is repeated often enough, it becomes an article of belief, a dogma, and men will die for it.
