No knocking noise whatsoever for rod bearings . Anyone do a rebuild lately? Cost?
You should definitely contact BMW of North America via email. They will call you. Ask if they can work with you.

I am an e92 M3 driver and did this to have my airbags serviced early as a result of the takata airbag recall.

Are they able to bring up any codes of any kind? This sounds really unfortunate. I am sorry this happened. I am currently researching an M6 as an upgrade. I was lucky to own an M3 that didn't have rod bearing issues.
