White smoke came from under the hood , and smoke was also behind the car via the exhaust... because when the other cars were passing by they drove through a mist of smoke this happens at "9:25" ! And so probably a new black hole was made in a S65 engine block...

... Nor did my recently sold (yesterday) s50b32 (euro e36 m3 motor). ... Nor did the e30 M3's/s14's you routinely still see at track events. Tracking an M3 is respecting/honoring it. It's using it as intended. Street driving it only is wasting it/missing the point. Beyond that, there doesn't seem to be a ton of corelation on the s65 between tracking and rod bearing failure, nor mileage and bearing failure. Many street only, low mileage, pussy driven cars have had this issue. Last edited by Obioban; 07-27-2015 at 08:06 AM.. |

Do you have a warranty? Only 13800 miles? Get one for up to 100000 miles and relax. |

Now, why would you worry over an engine that have 14k miles on the clock..? I bought mine at 12k, wanted to take an oil samples when I started to read about the bearing issue but eventually instead decided my car is fresh, no issues, period. Changing oil every 5k miles, respect the engine when cold, obviously keep an ear open for any odd noises but that's it. As long as the machine sounds good, it is good enough for me. Enjoy man! |

Well, add another one to the list. I just experienced rod bearing failure on my 2009 M3 with 57k miles. My mechanic has said the crankshaft is damaged, as well, resulting in an engine that is not reusable. Now, I'm facing engine replacement to the tune of $15k-25K, depending on whether I go with a used engine or one that has been remanufactured. This is absolutely unbelievable for a vehicle of this caliber!
I bought mine in 2012 as a lease return with 25k miles on it and have driven it w/no major problems until now. Maintenance has been completed at standards higher than BMW's requirements, always using 10W-60. I know there's debate on this, but I wanted to follow BMW's recommendations. I'm not going to say I've babied it, but has certainly not been abused. I mean who can resist revving up that sweet engine! |

Sadly your prob much much safter getting a M3 with 90k already on it, that way if it was going to blow it would of done so already lol. Really hate you had that happen to your car man, makes me sick.

Not really from a drivability standpoint. Although, now that I've seen some of the videos at the beginning of this thread, I would say I heard engine ticking sounds similar to those for possibly the whole time I've had it. However, I didn't know they weren't normal.

My independent did the diagnosis, although he had suggested originally that I take it to a dealer. I thought, if it was just rod bearings, it would be cheaper to repair through him than at a dealer. Plus, I wanted to go with something other than OEM bearings. My car is now sitting with him with it's belly open waiting for next steps. |

Pictures from my car. I've seen a lot of photos of rod bearings over the past couple of weeks and these seem to be among the worst. It just doesn't seem like this should happen at 57k miles.
These are from bearings 1 and 2. The #1 bearing spun and got really hot, discoloring the cap. The #2 bearing has worn through the top layer into copper. I am in a really bad situation here because the cost to repair it is approximately 50-65% of the value of the car. |

Clicking Noise
Well - after driving the car today and listening to the engine afterwards, I've got the "clicking noise" sounding almost identical to the last video at the beginning of the thread. Guess I'm on a time bomb
Means I may have to fast forward my rod bearing replacement plan. Damn. Like the poster above I just assumed it was the natural sound of the car. Are my indy mechanics going to love me... last month got the throttle actuator gears replaced, next month the rod bearings. Hopefully that'll be the last big maintenance item until rotors and pads next year. |

If you want to record and post a video about suspicious noises of our S65 engine you should hold your cam close to the driver side front wheel and rev your S65 a few times slowly up to 3K rpm's .

Popped my engine last week. 2011 dtc completion with 62k miles. I drive the car hard daily hitting redline whenever I get the chance. I purchased it as a certified pre owned BMW at 32k miles.
Anyway... Did a hard 1st to 2nd from a stop light and the car shut off... Started the car back on and went straight to the dealer and took it in for a loaner. Service adviser just called me today and said that the bearings are toast.... The third party warranty is going to cover a brand new engine and gave the green light for the dealer to start ordering parts. Before I got off the phone my service adviser said "you are lucky cause parts is almost 25k alone" 🙌🏽 |
