Standard N55 crank-11212163665, piston-11257624409

Since BMW makes a spec M235i Race the forged crank is possibly meant for homologation standards. Or since it is a 'M' inspired enthusiast car, that BMW realized would see a lot of track time from owners, BMW wanted the best parts installed for durability purposes.
Thank you!
