Does anyone know who the OEM is?
I don't recognize that logo.
The only thing I can imagine is that CL stands for Clevite (from the Mahle group), but Clevite's logo looks nothing like it and I don't see it on examples of Clevite or Mahle bearings.
Also BMW doesn't only do business with the Mahle group; the OEM rodbearings in the contemporary M54 engine are from Glyco.
There's also a brand called ACL (also CL in the name), but again, they use a completely different logo (and stamp their bearings differently)

Are there markings on the other side of the bearing?
