This category lists the forged connecting rods available for the BMW 1.6 8-valve engine, codes M40B16 and M43B16.
Only one part family is stocked here today: a set of forged rods intended for a bottom end running forged pistons. Forged and then machined, the rod carries inertia and combustion loads far beyond the standard part, which makes it the first item to uprate once the engine sees higher revs or boost.
No other part family is listed for this engine code at present.
