The PWG rod bearings were superseded by the rod bearing used in the EWG N55s which came out in the 2014 model year. Only a few BMW SUVs used PWG beyond 2014.
You can see all of this information on RealOEM and see where the part numbers were superseded. That is why "chaungo" thinks his 2013 335i has the 2014+ rods and rod bearings.

Stop giving false information, everything in realOEM is up to date to your VIN number.
My PWG has essentially 180k miles, so again, rod bearing failures are due to user error, improper maintenance, or insufficient oiling, not rod bearing type.
They use the same bearing, it even tells you the date on when the supersede came into effect, which was from 07/01/2011 for yellow and violet, 11/02/2011 for red and blue.
