Well over 2million F10s have been produced and I've only seen one or two threads on this forum concerning a thrown rod. Chances are in everyone's favor that this is not a common production issue with non-M variants.

If you want to talk about rod bearings, head over the ///M forums. S54, S62, S65, and S85 engines are all plagued with a chance of lower connecting rod bearing failure. I've owned them all and the fear is real!
