If you've treated your engine right it must have had a really hard life in the hands of the previous owner(s).

Here's what the rod bearings looked like on my E46 M3 at 100K miles, it's an US import so it might have had a recall. But if/when I don't know. It's my strong belief that the rod bearing issue is highly exaggerated and heavily concentrated to the internet. I simply call it regular maintenance, keep in mind it's a race engine for the street. How many race engines lasts as long as the S54 does? Blows my mind really.

Cylinder 1-6, Övre = Upper and Nedre = Lower.
