ROD BEARING FAILURE! TODAY WHILE ENTERING THE FREEWAY I HEARD A LOUD BOOM FOLLOWED BY THE ENGINE TURNING OFF. I TOWED THE CAR HOME AND AFTER INSPECTION I FOUND THE CYLINDER 8 PISTON HAS BLOWN THROUGH THE BLOCK. THE CAR HAS JUST BROKE 100K MILES,HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED ON TIME AND SHOWED NO PRIOR INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES. I HAD THIS CAR IN THE SHOP FOR A CHECK UP FROM BMW'S "MASTER TECH" WITH NO NOTES OF ANY NOISES OR ISSUES.
