The only thing came to mind is the crank shaft could be crack other than that the car is pretty solid.

I think he means spun crank hub, in which case there are no warning signs.

crank hub

there are a ton of articles posted in the forum but most known issues are tuned cars with DCT... When I shopped I looked manual, low miles, and no engine mods. Its super rare, but the forum makes it an issue because people talk about it so much.
