No.. Other than sudden oil consumption and a very subtle tapping sound upon throttle tip in at a constant speed, I had no indication anything was wrong... I only noticed the tapping sound because it was reverberating off of the bay bridge wall next to me as I was driving across the bay Friday morning... Once I got off the bridge I could not hear the noise anymore, as it was very subtle at first...

Keep us posted on what your warranty company does about this. I hope they alleviate it with your best interest in mind.

But it's more complicated than this. I strongly believe that the B failure issue on the S65 is a compromised oil issue. Not an engine load issue. But of course once the oil is compromised a SC or tuned engine extra load will spin the B faster. Oil lubrification gets compromised by "babying" driving pattern that lead to excessive fuel dillution in the oil. Cases should record how many miles the oil was driven since last change. I predict no failed bearings ever occur in freshly changed oil as it takes more miles for dillution to degrade the oil. For example the OP mentioned topping off the oil in last 5Kmiles so we know the failure didn't occur with fresh oil in the engine. Last edited by nthretourNAFTW; 04-27-2015 at 10:50 AM.. |

I am hoping if this issue becomes more ubiquitous, that BMW will also find a solution for checking/replacing failing rod bearings under an extended warranty/recall as it appears to be an engineering flaw.

So you're basically hearing what noises sound a little off and that's what you asume the rod bearing? OP said, that he had prior to engine/RB/CS/ failure an enormous oil consumption, shouldn't that be considered as an #no.1 premature-failure indicator? LMK Cheer's to Belgium |

I need to work my friend,just came home...12 hours today ,started 04.30-AM how many hours you worked today ? I really don't know what you are talking about ...what bearing failures ? Hope you will never hear any ticking or rattle noises , same thing here and tuned or not ,babied or not! About the lottery , actually the lottery starts to roll when the S65 leaves the German factory and hope we have winners ! About satisfied ...I was only satisfied when this thread/s were not necessary on here ,and so not f@cked up by BMW ! Are you sure you have a winner ?

There's fresh oil in it and Blackstone picked up very little lead just 1,000 miles ago,...which means this happened very, very suddenly. If the car has been babied, then maybe there's validity to what was stated by nthretourNAFTW . |

That's why I was asking to OP about exhaust fumes , even when the oil is burned ..It's needs to go somewhere .. About the noises I have learned for the last 2 years how our S65 not should sound by listening hundreds of times slight ticking and rattle noises of videos from people out of luck or f@cked up by BMW .

Does this mean that once warmed up the S65 should be pushed at least once per drive, or at least once per few drives? TIA |

You realize you just dropped a bombshell here. This is the first time anyone's claimed there were an internal number ran on this defect. So I hope your source is credible, b/c people and other social media sources would pick this up quickly. That said, I sincerely feel like BMW should pick up the tab for the 2%. If they did their probability of expense, they'll find out that not even 100% of this 2% will end be being a claim that BMW themselves will pay. As in this example, a 3rd part aftermarket warranty is cutting this check, and there are already examples of people preemptively changing out their bearings or electing not to go back to BMW for the fix. Other cars get crashed, or supercharged, coverted to racecars thus rescinding this eligibility, and thus decreases the universe further. The end cost of fixing this for owner pro-bono will be less than 50% of this 2%. I hope BMW DE and BMWNA reads this... |

Thanks for your feedback. Since your changed oil, did you recently have more inner city short drives than usual ? Has it been a while since you went on an aggressive drive ? And last, does your car gets driven between 6K RPM to redline regularly (at least every other drive) or not ?
