The more engines we see running well past 100k (and 200k), I think the more confident that we can all be that this is a isolated problem, not a sure-to-fail-with-time issue. My Blackstone report at 77k was nice and clean. Would still love to see the bearings out of the 260k E90 that just changed hands!

can we get an update on this?
I recently purchased a 2008 M3 6MT with 75k on the clock. I'm unsure of the previous maintenance... I'm torn between fixing it now or purchasing a 3rd part warranty. |

Just for reference.....purchased an 08 with 81K in July. Immediately did rod bearings. One of them was down to copper; other 7 looked OK.

In the long run doing the bearings is cheap insurance, and after you do it you can beat it like it owes you money and it will come back for more

I didn't think that way till I had my bearings done. I had 145K plus miles and my bearings were worn through 3 layers. I was informed that I was lucky and a kaboom was likely in the near future. I had no signs of issue. So why did I do it? I got a complimentary black stone analysis and the results was high lead detection (around 26 ppm).
