S63 Rods used on S58 motor

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Is it true the S58 uses the rods from the S63? Apparently they are bending in the S58 motor. Does anyone know about this? Can someone elaborate? Thanks!

I don't think under normal conditions and standard use, that a piston connecting rod is going to do that.

As suggested above, I would guess a tuned engine that was over-revved.

Do you know about this, have you heard about this? C'mon man, you can't drop a pic like that and not elaborate yourself.

Need to know the torque numbers. Heavily modified to some could be minor to others. Send us the HO/Torque or better yet, dyno sheet:-)

Heard a rumor that a flash tuned S58 threw a rod at Arizona 1/2 mile races over the weekend and made a big mess on the track.

We need a confirmation on if it really happened. Hopefully if the person is on here, they will man up and let everyone know what mods were done and what happened. Most likely that won't happen

We talking 1000 torque in Nm or freedom units?

Edit: Just checked the S58 tech. training. The connection rods are indeed carried over from the S63B44T4 engine.

Was a stock turbo one. My friend was out racing and told me about it but didn't ask for the mod list or anything. This forum has like 100 people on it lol I doubt they are here.
