I've been driving BMW for over 12 years. My absolute favorite car to drive. I've had my M3 for a year. My dream car. I took the upmost care of her. Coming home from work late Monday driving around 65-70 miles per hour. I heard a loud noise from my car and an engine malfunction notification on my car. Almost hit an 18 wheeler as my car lost control before I swerved into a ditch. Had it towed to my mechanic where he confirmed a piece of a rod poking out the lower part of my block. I never thought the rod bearing failure would ever happen to me! it happened. I currently have no car and I still make payments. I have to get a ride to work which I hate. BMW should be held responsible for all s65 motors that have these no clearance rod bearings. This was my baby. Now she'll never be the same again.
