BMW M3 Forum (E90 E92) - View Single Post - S65 Oil reports collation - does oil analysis work for tracking bearing wear?

Looks like there's a new case of an engine blowing not long after a good oil report. kmberger8's engine grenaded itself recently causing a lot of damage

I just need to find out the mileage interval between the oil report and it blowing up, before adding it to my 'missed' list.
