And if my car is not modified, and I have an extended warranty that goes until 100,000 or 120,000 miles (I can't remember), why will this not be covered?

I would think the warranty company is better off covering the prematurely worn rod bearings for several thousand rather than a whole engine for $25,000...
Notwithstanding the near hysterical reaction to this topic on this board, there is no empirical evidence to suggest a there is a widespread issue with the rod bearings in the S65. The warranty should cover you if the engine blows, but there is no chance you will convince them there is an issue with bearings regardless of what your oil analysis may say.
