Saw this on the M42 club and thought it might be good for a wiki or a sticky :D

Here there are some specifications about BMW rods. I hope that this thread will stop newbies to ask questions about this.



EDIT: the yellow zones are not certified, so I need your help to compile them All the white zone is proven and documented.

NOTE: when helping me you need to write a reference, that can be a link to a page where it confirm what you're saying or if you've measured them with your hands write please.
Here phrases like "I think that they're forged" are not welcome. We need the truth, not hypothesis.
If I'll have more freetime I'll make something about pistons to definitely write a manual about frankenstein engines because all those identical threads are boring the forum

so let's help to full this chart

Yes, except it lists an M20B25 in an E36, supposedly giving 192bhp? :?
