Was engine able to be saved? Was a simple bearing job necessary? Was the engine replaced? If so, how much was the total cost and how long was the car out?

He has a point, popping in and saying what should'a been done isn't going to help the OP. I never had to deal with a rod knock and my previous M3 had the RB's done, my current M3 does not have it done (yet). OP, a friend of mine with an 2012 M3 and 78,000 miles got a rod knock and the car was taken to an Indy shop in Toronto, his was engine was saved. You caught it just in time so I would lean towards you are likely safe regarding replacing the whole block.
Good luck and you have the car in a superb shop and if anyone can save it, it's Malek. |
Thanks for the post! Do you know the details of how it was saved? Did the Indy shop just have to replace the bearings or anything else was repaired/rebuilt?
