He posted in this thread - https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1747467
I thought you'd posted in it, but I see now you didn't (I did). I think I added him to my list, I'll double check. [edit] No he isn't, probably because I was waiting for him to tear the engine down. But it looks like he isn't going to, so I'll add him to the undetermined list.

WHY? Just why...
Add me... 2008 e90 M3 6-spd, 120k miles.
Had the Rod Bearings replaced. King Racing + ARP Bolts. This car has cost me SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much in maintenance. I've spent every dollar it's needed since I bought it. Through a rod and punched a 2 inch hole in the block. I'm done. Anyone posting about oil analysis or BS like that, I shouldn't have to spend $20k on engine maintenance at a professional shop that works on these cars every day and still have complete and catastrophic engine failure. So what I spent $20k and now I'm out another $12k just because BMW can't get their sh*t together to address this issue. And no it isn't "Less than 1% of all M3's have this issue". THEY ALL HAVE IT. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME. ARGUE WITH ME IF YOU WANT, BUT THE S65 MOTOR IS GARBAGE. PERIOD. I'm selling the f-ing thing and never looking back.

Installation Notes: King CR 224SV rod bearings are not intended for OEM replacements. Usage of these rod bearings requires the connecting rod big-end to be honed to size with new rod bolts. The OEM connecting rod big-end bore is specified between 56.0000 - 56.0130 mm. The King big-end specification is set to 56.055mm -- which is larger than factory specifications. Due to this change in specification, the rod big-end bore must be honed to match these specification before these rod bearings would be suitable for use. Consult your engine builder before attempting to use these bearings as an OEM replacement. |

Oh yea that one posted by Tom@eas, that was from the rod bearings condition thread. So collating info for that one, it was still running and wasn't knocking somehow! Crank is damaged. 170k miles, MY 2008

RIP S65
Although it's not certain it's bearing failure at this point. They seemed to think it might be piston failure, I guess we'll only know when they strip it down. Will you be monitoring their channel?

Not saying some motors have blown simply because tolerance stack up but I personally assume quite a few went due to lack of care. |

And sooner or later we can add them in the (very long) Bimmerpost list But the Bimmerpost list is just a small % of the worldwide S65 bearing failures .. Just like the latest Austrian S65 blown engine , the guy drove his ///M3 like a savage and he's 'not at Bimmerpost .
