I'm not going to generalize this and say that more cars may have a "defect". In fact, I did a lot of research before buying the car, and never read or heard of any such problems. It was only when trying to make sense of this, I googled "2008 M3 engine problem", and stumbled upon 2 similar posts, including the one here somewhere with pics of oil all over.
My failure wasn't so dramatic, a service engine soon light (something like that), followed by a rough idle, a "metal-hitting-the-road" sound, and the car died. I checked & saw nothing under the car, metal, oil or otherwise.
BMW must've had some knowledge of something, as there were NO questions at all, and a brand new motor followed. Two thumbs up for BMW, for stepping up to the plate here.
