at 18,000 miles should rod bearings typically look worn like that?

Looking forward to the oil analysis after the next oil change... might be considering the VAC coated bearings in the next 25,000 miles as preventative...

Now that BMW came out with their new LL01 oil recommendations and after calling Motul... I might be using their 300V 5w40 or 10w40 since theoretically it will offer improved rod bearing protection for now although the excess 8100 5w40 is what is oe approved now
