Hi All,

Doing a bit of an overhaul on a M50. Where is the best place to get:

Bottom end bearings
Gasket set for both head & bottom end
Piston rings (Standard size)

Also, what brands do I want to be going for.

Many thanks

Kam

link below to realoem, feed in model info and it will give diagrams and part numbers, my opinion only, if staying standard, stick with genuine for longevity. Check pelican parts for genuine brand names and buy where you can pay the least, cheers.

Goetze rings, Victor Reinz gaskets and bolts, Kolbenschmidt or Glyco bearings.

Go to BMW, granted they will break your bank but then again in most cases should see your motor fit as it was first born.
