The warranty wanted to strip the engine apart at my cost(1-2k) and then decide if they will cover the component(not the whole engine) so I thought it would be too much hassle with an added stressful risk on whether they will cover it or not so decided to just take the money on offer.

Like I said , this seems to be a common problem now around this mileage (70k) .
I decided to send car over to Troy Jeup up in Michigan to do a complete rebuild .... Spoke to him and gave me an estimate for a bulletproof engine with 700hp /700tq ... I could have done it cheaper but I think he is the right guy ...
If it was the oil pump at least it should have given me a sign or a sensor should have came up ... not a single thing on the dashboard ...
I wasn't aware that also M5 had rod bearing issues ... we also have in the house a 2008 M3 e93 w 75k miles on it and runs great ... will do oil analysis soon ....
