  13.  @abdbach379  There may well be a common problem, but not to your extent of problems. I think I would hear more about it if that was the case, the timing chain problems of the N47 were widely reported, a disaster of an engine. Yet I owned 2 cars with that engine that ran for many miles without problems. Its all about the failure percentage, and the widely reported N47 timing chain was likely below 20%. Since it shares a lot with the N57, one would think it might have rod bearing problems as well, but not a peep regarding that. I am not saying it doesnt happen, not at all, but as a percentage of produced engines it must not be extremely high I would think... Here is where your N57 enters the picture. It has to have an atypical defect still present for the bearings to fail that fast/frequently. Atypical in the sense that even if the rod bearings can fail, the surely cant do so three times in 6 months without something else causing it, that isnt a common factory defect. Else it would be one of the worst engines in history and all of europe would be full of them (it isnt, not really). If not the fuel, I can only see a few reasonable answers: 1: Something went wrong when they fixed it the first time that makes the problem come back. 2: Your car has an engined that was somehow wrongly produced already at the factory. (Not a design flaw, but a build one) 3: If you did not own it since new, A previous owner did something to it that resulted in something being "off" in the engine and causing this.
