nothing came out the bottom end thankfully and rod bearings seem to be a common problem with the s63's. Based on the sounds I heard from the engine compartment when it died I am pretty sure it was a bearing. BMW wanted 6k dollars just to start exploring the bottom end and Raza only wanted 8500 for a stock rebuilt engine. My SA said that engine rebuilds are not a dealership strong suit so I didn't feel very confident about them coming in with a reliable and cost permissive fix.
It will be a couple of weeks before the folks at RKAutowerks gets to tear the engine down. As soon as I hear something I will share it.
