How the motor was treated, abused, modified etc. may have little relevance on the bearing clearance thread but should have major relevance on this thread because it seems obvious to me that when you drive a car beyond what the manufacturer has designed it to be driven then the motor will blow at some point.
Off topic.
So is the N54...how many N54's have been produced?

A lot of M3 owners used to say the S65 was more reliable than the N54, looking at these numbers, I disagree.

Also the rod bearings issue affected mainly 08's.
