So to me it seems like a myth that the e92 m3's have any lower of a chance of bearing failure than the m5's do and really it was only because more high mileage m5's started appearing before any high mileage m3's?

My question than is what situation is causing the oil starvation issue-is it track type driving where g-forces are too high? Or is it high RPM driving where the oil is starved at higher rpm.

Or effectively what can we do if we want to lessen the chance of this happening to our engine? Keep RPM"s lower or will that not matter? Don't track?

Seems like so many of these cars have held up so well on the track and with hard driving. I guess I will plan to get rid of this car after warranty. Simple as that. I was going to keep it long term but such a shame.

And last, how about running bmw synthetic 5 w30 which is a bit thicker than the average 5w 30. What deleterious effects does that have?
