I’m looking at an F10 M5, 65 reg so LCI with 41k mileage. Service history is great. My question is, does the LCI suffer as badly with rod bearing failure?

I’m thinking if I buy the car to get a warranty with someone but also at about 70k to get the bearings changed as a precaution. Car will do about 10k per annum so likely 1 service/oil change annually.

Advice appreciated

Thanks for that.

I know it’s a risk but I’m hoping low mileage/regular oil changes and buying a clean non mapped car, warming it up before using any revs etc will see me safe and rod bearings at 70k
