Elring are a premium brand and comparable in quality to Victor Reinze. I have used their products for years and never had an issue. The much cheapness is an added bonus ! :D

elringklinger.

I have made tooling for these guy`s and their standards are well up there.
Mainly it was a nice piece of kit to form the metal rings around the bores of head gaskets. If you notice that some are concave and this takes a cool bit of engineering, and I have used gaskets from them since with no problems at all.
No discounts though.

Only the E46 cab left now.
Just got too old.

You'll want Karl Schmidt or KS are good. Theres more that i'm forgetting NE npr europe i've used on my e46 B3s go to your local machine shop they'll be the cheapest by far. The bearings for that crank will be the same as an M20b25 45mm big ends and 60mm mains. BMW don't really change these things unless they have to.

i told you a slight porky, the main end shells fit the S50, M54, M52 inc. TU, M50 vanos, M44 and M43 engines according to real OEM

as for the big ends also fit M40, M42,M43,M44, M20 B25s , M50, M52, M54 and S50 engines

So theres big cross over but i wasn't quite right!
