Hello, new member here, but not new to the BMW world.

I've previously owned multiple M cars on the E30, 36 and 46 platforms.

I'm seriously considering buying a 2013 E92 competition package car with 64k miles on it, but after reading and watching a handful of videos regarding the #1 main bearing failure at a variety of miles i'm second guessing my purchase consideration.

The vehicle I'm considering had the rod bearings replaced with the BE v2 units at 55k and is not tracked. (DCT trans)

Is the main bearing failure rate something to truly be concerned about with non-track use drivers or does that not factor into the failures given the most likely root cause of the #1 main bearing failure is too high tension from the double chains?

Thanks in advance!

Mains failures are exceedingly rare even on supercharged cars, rarer still on NA cars. It's been played up recently as some YouTubers put up videos. It's not something I would even worry about. More so on the 2013 unit you're looking at which is low mileage.
