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.

That's what I thought too - that the rod bearing issue is highly exaggerated and heavily concentrated to the internet. But I ultimately decided to believe my oil analysis instead of burying my head in the sand. I did mine at approx. 55k and glad I did it. If read just that one single thread, there are a lot of engines with similar issues on a lower production runs than the E46M3 =>
