The ACL Race Series Connecting Rod Bearing Set for BMW N20 engines is built for engines that do more than the factory ever planned for. Once boost rises, heat builds, and the RPM needle climbs past comfort zones, stock bearings can start to give up. ACL’s Race Series bearings are designed for that exact moment—the point where strength, precision, and reliability matter most.

Each bearing is built using tri-metal construction: a hardened steel backing for rigidity, a copper-lead layer for strength under load, and a precision overlay that keeps a consistent oil film even when things get hot. That layered design manages friction and oil pressure across the crank journals, protecting your rods and crank from wear and scoring through every pull and heat cycle.

The Race Series material used by ACL has earned its place in motorsport engines worldwide. It offers high fatigue strength, smooth oil control, and excellent embeddability—keeping clearances tight and performance consistent. You can run higher boost, stay in the upper RPM range, and rely on your bearings to do their job lap after lap.

Designed as a direct-fit replacement for the BMW N20 engine found in models like the 320i, 328i, X1, X3, and Z4, these bearings drop in with factory precision. No modifications, no machining—just exact fitment and proven results.

For anyone running a tuned or track-ready N20, the ACL Race bearings are a simple but vital upgrade. They add strength where you need it most, giving your engine the reliability to handle long pulls, high boost, and the kind of spirited driving that pushes limits. It’s the quiet protection that lets you drive harder—and worry less.

PREPREG is a common term for a reinforcing fabric such carbon which has been pre-impregnated with a resin system. This resin system (typically epoxy) already includes the proper curing agent. As a result, the prepreg is ready to be laid into the mold without the addition of any more resin. In order for the laminate to cure, an autoclave production process is used, a combination of high pressure and heat.

  • Maximum strength and performance characterictics. In a hand layup production process, it is difficult to achieve 50% fabric and 50% resin content.  Typical hand laminates, even when vacuum bagged, end up with a significant amount of excess resin. Excess resin increases brittleness and reduces overall strength properties. On the other hand, most prepregs contain around 35% resin. This is ideal for maximum cured properties and generally impossible to achieve in normal hand lamination.
  • Uniformity and repeatability. The prepreg is of uniform thickness and each part coming out of the mold may theoretically be the same. Vacuum bagging technology may have some errors in processing, but prepreg ensures production consistency.
  • Reduce curing time. After the thermal curing cycle, no need to wait for the standard 48 hours can be fully cured.
  • Aesthetics. Although prepreg processing still requires mold preparation and demoulding, prepreg processing eliminates air bubbles, makes it easier to obtain a smooth, glossy surface as well as eliminates any seaming lines.
