Yep , that's the cold start clunk noise and the same as my S65 .
Note : In your video I can hear a squeaking noise , probably it comes from your drive belt or wear from your pulley axle . |
Yeah I heard it too. Very faint. But In that video I changed all belts too. Maybe needed a short time to break in, but I do not hear it anymore since then |
Is there any chance BMW will own up to making any of this right? At least in my case? |
I think I'm missing something here. Too bad that video isn't actually of OP's car. I know there are a lot of really smart people here and certainly not many with as much knowledge as Philippe but why are you determining that the S65 is shot just from the shavings? Do we even know what those shavings are yet? A faint knock at low RPM's is the beginning of the end? And no one answered OP's question about BMW owning up to it, although I think we already know the answer to that. They have not been held accountable in the court system yet although some minor headway has been made.

For what it's worth I recall my knock sounding just like the video I posted (I remember finding that video and going "bingo", then being frustrated by a lack of explanation as to why). I know that doesn't reconcile with what more knowledgeable people here are saying; I'm at a loss on that.
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?
