I will update as things progress but I'm assuming I will find a bunch of worn bearings and 1 substantially damage one. Do people think an overrev would do this? I never overreved it but maybe the previous owner did? But wouldn't the valve train or the rods themselves go first? |

The only thing I?d be concerned with are the shavings going throughout the engine itself. It?ll take multiple changes to get it out. Depending on the size of the shavings it could damage the cams and other lubricated parts by scoring them. Hopefully you caught it soon enough

OP, I'm still interested in your thoughts on BMW taking some responsibility for the bearings issue. Are you in a discussion with BMW currently? I think you stated that it's at a BMW dealership which is obviously best if you are trying to get some help from them if this is what everyone is expecting it to be. If so, how far up the chain are you? Service adviser level or beyond that? Not sure but I think this thread would help others in your boat if you are actually making headway with them. And as the link I supplied earlier showed, the S65 bearing issue is not lost yet although many here will tell us that it's a pipe dream.

Absolutely, stating the facts as you have is good. Speculation and bad mouthing will get you nowhere. Good work, we are all pulling for you. Great community even though as Philippe would say "Bmw drivers have no friends". I'm sure a picture stating that will be coming up shortly.
Edit: Phil? No picture? |

Its for sure,the noise sounds not really healthy and I can hear it too . On the other hand.. I know S65's from 2007 with the cold start clunk noise . And today we are in 2017 . That's 10 year later with the noise and they are running fine .

If not , I really hope you have deep pockets because S65 Vanos-Gears are not cheap . But you can always show them the paper of the PUMA-case .. On the other hand , I never understood how this fixed the noise by replacing the S65 Vanos-Gears by exactly the same S65 Vanos-Gears ....

If anyone is interested, I only drove the car once or twice a month, and I?ve found that if I turn the car ON, give the fuel pump a chance to prime, the start the car, that clunk is not anywhere near as bad.

No, nothing yet. I started looking at rs5s though haha. My gut is bmw screws me in which case I don't see myself ever buying one again. Depending on how this gets sorted out I may trade it in after it's fixed.

In the case of the RS5, the main one is massive carbon buildup. Do you want to remove the mainfold every 30k miles? I don't. |

The only issue with the S65 is rod bearings, which costs ~2500 at a reputable shop or can be done for ~600 yourself. Nothing else. The RS5 engine's carbon buildup does not have any solution. I've removed the mainfold of a N55 and it's a pain in the ass, I'm not sure rod bearings are worse. If you want a highly reliable car you'll have to buy a Toyota. There is not one performance car that 'just works'. The E9X M3 is one of the most reliable there is. |
