So from the to now either the lifter has collapsed or a bearing is going. It will be dropped off at the BMW tech tomorrow for investigation. I have contacted the original engine builder and let him know that there is something happening in the engine and it maybe rod/bearing related...
Shiite, looks awful. Really hope you get the engine builder hooked up and you nail the issue. Keep us posted.

Good luck!
