Is there anyone out there with a completely stock m3 who drives like I do have a catastrophic failure?
And I change oil every 7500 miles ...

Yes and plenty of them. Some have exploded with less than 25k miles and newer model years. Check out the rod bearing failure Registry thread. Also many probably aren't reported because the low mileage stock cars are fixed under warranty by BMW.
