So i stop the car and didnt continue. Send in for check the next day and thought it was just coil or plugs, but after changing those, the knock became more apparent at low rpm. Here is the pic of the shod rod bearing and crank.

Great job stopping the car when you noticed the misfires, and saving further damage! I was not so fortunate....
I had heard it was not possible to oil starve an N55 F30 on street tires, but I managed to do coming through the Chute at Summit Point. Before I knew what was happening, the car was pulling power, threw a rod through the block, and the engine caught fire. I was THIS close to upgrading to the M3 oil pan and pumps before this event, but the cost was definitely a deterrent.
I was on the fence for a while with either rebuilding the car with a used engine, or selling the chassis and getting started with a apec e46 build. In the end I chose the latter. I will truly miss this car.
