It is hard to mistake the sound of rod knock. Before it stopped, the motor had super loss of power, oil light turned on and then stalled out. I was warned that putting wider tires, lowering with stiff springs, and driving hard could result in higher G-forces. It had been burning oil recently with the 0-40 so I went with the 10-40 and this slowed the loss.

Sorry this happened to you, but you hardly sound like the "poster child for Porsche preventative maintenance". Good luck with your new BMW toy.
