This comes from Porsche world, but I thought I’d share this informative video about UOA and why low metals can actually be a bad sign. The sample principles apply here.

If i do end up inspecting the rod bearings and find damage, can i at least reuse the BE arp 2000 bolts? From what i have read, they are reusable and most likely it wouldn't be an issue reinstalling them without having to worry about measuring the stretch already applied to the bolt.

Just a quick update. I changed the oil and started the car and there is a slight knock. I immediately pulled it back in the garage and turned it off. I'm going to have it towed to a shop to look at it. I will reply back with the findings. this really, really, really sucks. i guess on the bright side, the knock is slight and the engine still runs at the moment.

If i find that the crank has been scored from a rod bearing failure or one of the mains has failed and since the oil pathways are contaminated by bearing debris, my main concern is reliability of the engine after these repairs and the cost. Would it be cheaper and more reliable to source a rebuilt engine?

Short answer: Unless you have some real knowledge about who is building the engine, just get a used engine. Edit: Note that the bill for either of these is large enough that you should also consider selling the car as-is to someone who will DIY the work and getting another M3.

So sorry to hear this.
Please keep us posted as to what you find. And I agree, the S65 rebuild is not something to trust to just any shop. There is an S65 engine for sale from Saskatoon Canada right now for $5500 CAD. The guy is slow to respond but check the Canada regional forums. Cheers,

Consider buying a whole wrecked car so that you can confirm the engine runs well before removing it... part out/scrap the rest to make up costs.. Not as convenient at all but the thought of buying an eBay motor is scary.... I've seen low mileage wrecked e93's sell for sub $7k... sounds like you can turn a wrench... get errr done for Dale..
