Eagle Extreme Duty Connecting Rod Set BMW M52/M54 | S50/S52 1992-2006
$1169.99

Alright, let’s talk about Eagle’s Extreme Duty Connecting Rods. If you’re diving into serious performance upgrades, these bad boys are worth a look. Made from forged 4340 steel, they’re built to take a beating. I mean, we’re talking about rods that can handle extreme competition use without flinching.

Each set comes with six connecting rods, and they’re not just slapped together. These rods feature a two-piece forging process, which means they’re designed for strength and durability. Plus, they’re fully machined, shot-peened, and polished, giving them a surface that’s not just pretty but functional too. The ARP Custom Age 625+ bolts are the cherry on top—these things are tough and keep everything locked down tight.

When it comes to specs, these rods have got you covered. They boast a center-to-center length of 5.313 inches and a pin size of 0.866 inches. The rod journal measures in at 1.771 inches, and the housing bore is at 1.89 inches. Weighing in at around 540 grams, they’re lightweight but strong, and they’re bushed for a full-floating piston pin setup. Talk about precision!

Now, let’s get real about fitment. These rods are compatible with a range of BMW models, including:

  • BMW E36 320i | 323i | 328i (1994-1999)
  • BMW E36 M3 S52 (1992-1999)
  • BMW E36|7|8 Z3M S52 (1998-2002)
  • BMW E38 728i (1995-1998)
  • BMW E39 520i | 523i | 325i | 528i | 330i (1995-2003)

Just a heads up—when you’re installing these, torque them to 60 ft-lbs using ARP moly lube. It’s all about keeping things running smoothly.

In a nutshell, if you’re looking to push your BMW’s performance to the next level, these Eagle Extreme Duty Connecting Rods are a solid choice. They’re tough, reliable, and designed for serious power. You won’t regret it.

Who is EAGLE?

EAGLE SPECIALTY PRODUCTS, aka EAGLE, has been at the forefront of developing top-quality engine components. The company officially started back in 1992 but has been developing their product for ten years prior.  Since the company started, it has continuously produced some of the market's best engine components and is widely used by engine builders worldwide.

Imitated But Not Duplicated

Due to the company's success, its products have been imitated by other companies even up to the part numbers. But the similarity ends only up to how they look. EAGLE uses the finest materials and has invested in the most state-of-the-art manufacturing machinery for them to create a product that would be able to take any punishment it is subjected to. It is tested to be superior to other brands and considered the best upgrade for OEM counterparts.

No To Shortcuts

The company sets the benchmark on how valves should be properly made. Using their years of experience creating rods, they have already designed over 200 different rods and 180 crankshafts. The company does not allow cost to compromise its material used, manufacturing process, and quality test. 

High-End Quality

All of Eagle's products are made up of high-quality materials. They use certified 4340 Chromoly steel. Using their own special heat treatment process, they are able to create a product that is much stronger compared to other competitors using the same raw material. 

They manufacture their rods using a 2-piece forging process that allows the rod to be stronger. This process orients the "grain" of the metal to the direction of the stress. Eagle uses a state-of-the-art Sunnen Krossgrinding system that allows them to create perfect cuts and bore consistently.
