Yes Sir, it is under a full coverage BMW extended warranty still. Cost me a small fortune. I would be OK with replacing those items as you mention, except for the metal shavings I found inside. If the sand like coating grit got into my oil there is damage to the engine internally which explains the metal shavings I found stuck to the sides. I can't imagine what the bottom of the oil pan must contain. Rod bearings as mentioned? Crank? who knows... I can't wait for the service advisor at the dealer to tell me that's normal which I fully expect to happen. ugh.
