Don't worry about the rod-bearing issue, buy the E92 if you love it. If you can't get the issue out of your mind have a Blackstone oil analysis done to test the copper/iron levels. This can be indicative of a rod bearing issue on a used/unknown s65 motor. It's super cheap to have the oil analysis done, maybe worth it for peace of mind. Otherwise, it's around $3k to have the bearings replaced as "preventative rod-bearing maintenance."

How many miles are on the E92 you want?
