ARP Pro Series Rod Bolt Kit M11 For 01–03 BMW M3 E46/E36/E37/E38 3.2L S54

Item Description

ARP Pro Series Rod Bolts for BMW’s legendary S54 engine are engineered to deliver uncompromising performance and durability. Specifically designed for early-model E46 M3s produced up to 02/2003 that use the now-unavailable M11x1.25 rod bolts, this kit is the perfect upgrade for high-revving applications. Whether you're building a street monster or prepping for the track, ARP's reputation for strength and reliability ensures your rotating assembly stays secure under extreme stress.

Each rod bolt in this kit is precision CNC-machined from ARP2000 alloy steel, then thread-rolled after heat treating—a process that delivers up to 10 times the fatigue strength of conventional bolts. This kit includes all required bolts along with ARP’s Ultra-Torque Fastener Assembly Lubricant to guarantee consistent and accurate torque during installation. Trust ARP to protect your investment when failure is not an option.
