Also Sreten Next time you do a tear down, tap on each piston to see if you have a "disconnecting rod".

Pretty clear what happened there: the first main bearing spun, because s65. Owner kept driving, as it deteriorated further and further... That bearing got so loose that the nose of the crank started to flex a lot. This probably caused a lot of wear on 1 and 5 rod bearings, and destroyed the front main seal...but the owner kept driving. Eventually the front main bearing got so loose that the flex was enough to break the crank. Only then did the driver take notice. I bet it was driven for hundreds of miles, eating the front main bearing, before the crank snapped. Heat doesn't really factor in the crank failure at all, though for sure there would have been a fair bit generated. Special.

Awesome, will check it out tonight.
Meant to ask earlier in this thread, going back to the B7 Sreten mentions some company in Czech Republic that does a lot of E65 stuff (it's Jarex or Yarex I think? not sure if I'm spelling that correctly). Does anyone have any info or a link to this place? I'd like to check them out (no pun intended Also, does anyone happen to know what phone mount he's using in the E65?

I will absolutely be using a Colourlock specialist when I get round to restoring the leather in my E38.
