I don't know if it is the cause for this particular case but I believe that the M3 has a problem with insufficient lubrication. Couple this with bad bearings with an FI KIT, you have a ticking time bomb.

The bearing issue concerns me a little bit; but I am not sure if it is just hearsay, or a legitimate issue regarding the car. I believe this owner had his motor rebuilt so I assume he has some background knowledge regarding the issue. 08 cars also had the idle control valve problem! Care to comment, ESS?
