I know of an E46 owner who ruin his engine after owning the car for 3 months because the pin came out and got sucked into the engine. He parked his car until he could save up enough cash to get the engine rebuilt.

I think that's a myth. Look at the design, it's not really physically possible. It is possible that it fell out when it was removed once before and no one noticed until it finally jammed the valves
