Also, if you are interested in an extended warranty talk with you local dealership representative about it. I bought my extended warranty from BMW and it was expensive but it was the best deal out of anybody and I got the Platinum coverage.

I asked them last week about the extended warranty and waiting on a quote. How much did you pay for your warranty? |

The right way to do this is strain the oil through a paper coffee filter and retain the metal flakes for examination and analysis. It's possible to tell exactly what component in the engine is making metal. Best to use some solvent to help flush the oil through the paper filter.

Personnally as there is metal in the oil I would get the engine out, drop the sump and rocker covers and do a full visual inspection - you may not need a full strip down - you can use a bore scope for the top of the cylinders and pistions (unlikely to cause this issue any way) |

ill drive it for a 100-200 miles and drop the pan even the upper sump housing ( upper oil pan) and see how it looks like, and send out the sample, if it looks like the rod bearings i can just swap them out from bottom. I read on rheingold i need to go with new set of rod studs and shells ofcorse. Btw i did a full warm up today and did listen to my engine in side a warehouse between 2800-3100 rpm. it sound just like rod noise. but if any one of you guys would do a recording for me i would really be happy. that will make it easy to verify my problem. i did the recording with an iphone in frond of kidneys. also when the na m3/m5 guys do rod bearing do they replace the crankshaft?
