You'd have more fun in a 1999 Z3 2.0. Do it right and get it fixed or dump it for a loss with the disclaimer. Either way you won't have something linger on. There will be no joy associated with the car as is. |

Done. So far so good (obviously). We'll see how long it holds up. I'm driving like a grandma for now. I'll do an oil change pretty quickly around 500-1000 miles and get a Blackstone analysis assuming it holds up for that long.

Either the dealership got scared or their counsel advised, in the end thousands were paid out. He signed an "as is" contract. Be careful folks. |

Welp... didn't take long. OPs engine is toast. Can't say he wasn't warned... reported to RB failure thread of of 4/15 (yesterday):
https://www.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...php?p=24656309 The fact that the OP did his brakes on 4/12 (just three days ago) really leads me to believe he wasn't taking any of the input here very seriously :shrug: Grinding/squeaking noise coming from rear brakes https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1603229 Sucks... but not surprising Hope the OP swings back to give us an update.

So listening to OPs original video makes me nervous about my car. I hear a really faint knocking sound in the video at about 25 seconds, right after he starts it up. Mine does the same thing but goes away quite quickly (maybe 5 seconds) and I don't hear anything else out of the ordinary, especially not the knocking he has at the end of the video when he applies throttle. Is that a normal sound to hear... again... at the 25 second mark.

Cars make sounds as they warm up. If your motor has rod knock, it’s probably too late to save it. You probably don’t have rod knock. But your bearings may still be heavily worn and you might want to think about preventative maintenance replacement rather than risk failure.

There is no way the dealership can tell you the condition of the rod bearings based on a prepurchase inspection. Also, there is no safe mileage to go to before changing them.
The risk is small but it’s there. Totally up to you what to do. I changed mine at 60k in 2014 when my extended warranty ran out. |

I live in the middle of nowhere so getting the opportunity to drive other cars and get a baseline of normal in person isn't possible. That's why hearing it in the video concerned me... I don't know what the normal sounds are.

That's the idea! Since you're not being rude, I'll ask - is it a good idea to do an oil change around 500 miles after rod bearings or do most people just let it go like normal?

Much appreciated. I'll do just that (assuming it lasts that long). I'm just happy to have it back.

That's what I was thinking. I haven't had VANOS issues yet, but I did get a code at one point for it. I'd rather dump any residual particles out if I can.

Swallow your pride; park your M3 until you can afford to fix it and drive around a super cheap beater. When you can drive your m3 again it will be much more gratifying instead of the potential nightmare it is now.
You do not want to window your block or score your crank any further as you could probably have your motor rebuilt to something lovely like a stroker for what it would cost to get an unknown replacement motor. There is no need for the "drive it until it blows" mentality with these engines. It's not a Honda b series or LS motor that has millions of replacements in the wild; the s65 is a rare bird that deserves proper care. |
