Rod bearing failures can happen but I don't know anyone with rod bearing failure on n54, not even remotely heard of it.
Rod bearing failure is more common on the E92 M3 with the V8.
If the owner is tracking the car, he should definitely look into dealing with the oil starvation issue.
What do you mean prohibits engine from starting?
It doesn't have desensitised knock tables that's all I referred to.

So if you don’t know or heard of rod bearings failures they aren’t happening?
I have personally done few with in the last year and I’m not even in the car repair business.
So what should I say about it?
Those desensitized knock tables didn’t cause the failure nor allow it to happen.
If engine doesn’t start you won’t have knock.
That’s the only way how you fix rod knock via tune.
