Well, I've recently decided to replace my rod bearings, after "feeling" that I've heard a handful of random knock-like noise when sitting inside the car, as well as after coming to a conclusion that my car was taken for ride by hotel valet (Omni Los Angeles in Downtown LA, yes I'm calling it out). No real symptoms really, but after the above mentioned incident I figured I'll take care of this now as preventive care, for my own peace of mind.

Car is a June 2011 build, now at 64,000 miles. No track, not beat on, but I do enjoy opening it up when I get the opportunity. Not trying to spread hysteria as some might/will accuse, really just want to share information, as I've seen very few posts or reports from 2011+ built S65 on how their rod bearings are doing. Given that mine is a later 2011 production, and has seen a lot of miles for its age, here is my contribution to the record.

- The results were not as bad as some of the 08-09 cars had reported, but I'll admit the bearings look a bit worse than I was expecting, with good amount of wear on all of the top shells.
- Replaced with WPC treated bearings, with ARP bolts, BMW 10W60 oil
- For what it's worth, also found one nearly ripped engine mount during the process
