It also does not seem to correlate with mileage, oil used, oil change interval, or driving environment, to preempt other excuses you may next think of that it could not happen to you (seems to be people's natural reaction).

If you're concerned, replace the bearings.
Yeah I agree , it's actually a *German S65 lottery* But when it knocks it's...
