BMW San Diego, the SA told me there to dive it until it breaks.

Just trying to understand, because you said you only looked it up AFTER the engine blew up. When you heard the tick, you didn't read about it before?

Not very loud ticking. When I heard the tick I brought it in and got told by my SA that it was normal. I don't hang out on the forums as much as you guys do, I just bring it to the dealer and say "this doesn't sound right". At the time I felt kind of embarrassed to bring it in, felt like I was being a complainer-type customer. Turns out I didn't complain enough, since it was the sign on a dying engine.

All they confirmed that the engine seized and that there were metal shavings in the oil filter. BMW wanted to charge me money for diagnostics and a teardown, but I didn't pay it. I pretty much think it had to do with rod bearings because that seems like the common theme here on the forums.
