BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - View Single Post - I'm going to preventatively replace my 72K N55 rod bearings

Hopefully one of you can help that has had rod bearing failure in past…Others have advised me that my 2013 F30 335j (PWG) has failing rod bearings. It has started making a "metallic rattling" or "metallic vibrating" noise when accelerating lightly from a stop.

Here is a video of me accelerating from a stop where you can clearly hear the vibrating/rattling noise at 2k-3k RPMS:
