Replacing a s65 engine

Does anyone know where you can get a rebuilt s65 engine without breaking the bank in Atlanta GA? I have a 2011 E93 M3 and the engine is knocking, it sounds like a Rod bearing.

Get it towed by flat bed truck to True Automotive. Their Lawrenceville, GA location is excellent. They are a full service shop and perform engine rebuilds as well as just about anything else you might need.

Sorry to hear about the rod knock. Don't drive the car until the rod bearings have been replaced. Use B.E. Bearings with ARP bolts.

i'm just not sure (admittedly knowing nothing about your specific spec / mileage) that it makes sense to rebuild. if it's in reasonable shape, you can probably sell it for 8-10k, and when you add the 10-15k that a clean engine install will likely run (unless you're doing it yourself, in which case -- carry on!), you're in no-story E93 land without the headache.

I think I have an M3 problem.
