Retainer, Bearing Vl1500 1998 (w) (e02 E04 E17 E18 E22 E24 E25 E34)

The connecting rod should be renewed along with the other components that make up this assembly, including amongst others; bearings, bolts, piston, piston rings, piston pin and the piston pin retention circlips - all pretty much essential when rebuilding the engine.
Interfacing new parts with old will cause the new parts to wear prematurely and lead to a less than satisfactory outcome - the superb engine this part suits is worth spending time and money on - if you want it to continue being superb?
This component and perhaps quite a few of the parts listed below maybe required for a full crankshaft/piston assembly rebuild:
