We lack the basic facts to make any sort of reasonable assessment of the magnitude of the problem.

What we need is a buddy on the inside who can tell us how many rebuilt long block units have been sold. Even then, some people have purchased recycled engines and some have rebuilt theirs themselves. The some fact remains. You talk to anyone who works at a BMW dealership, like at the parts counter, and they are familiar with M3s coming in and having engines replaced. There is usually one in the bay too!
