If you get new bearings manufactured I'd be in for a set of these as a preventative maintenance measure... I've got your rear subframe bushings and I've been very happy with them...! Jack |

Too late for that, once a failure occurs a sample will be compromised and useless.

2011 and onward cars (with the newer bearings) do seem to be susceptible to failure at lower mileage compared to earlier cars on the lead bearings. A 2011 car has the same fail rate at an average of 30,000 as 2008/9 cars with 50,000 miles.
The blue failure rate should follow the green mileage line but the fail rate rises for 2011 and onwards cars. ie the fail rate should decrease as the cars are newer with less mileage but rises instead. |

We have had rod bearing failures and the oil is just full of parts and pieces, we ran it anyway. Sometimes it will say the oil is just fine even with all the crap in it. The machines just cant "see" the oil correctly with all the crud in it.

This is becoming ridiculous!
Found out today a local dealer has a 2013 and 17k miles with bearing failure. Car was stock and maintained meticulously. All the people asking if the blown engines are "stock" are entertaining.

This really needs to get recalled.

If crank is damaged, a full build will take place at that point, since I will have to remove the motor and disassemble the whole thing. New crank, cams, pistons, rods and head work. I also believe the motor gave way due to prolonged high RPM usage and prolonged cornering. An oil baffle of some sort or dry sump system may have helped here. Car has been on Mobil 1 0W-40 for the last 15k miles.

So does that mean that 0w40 doesn't help with rod bearing issues?

I'm reading this thread now from day one ,and it's very sad to see all this bearing failures and blown engines ,and feel realy sorry for all the people !
And how longer i'm looking into this thread the more stranger it is that I don't see any Euro/spec car with bearing failures ? But I know one thing...it's realy time that BMW takes some action , particularly to keep BMW customers (us) ! Don't think we are bad BMW customers knowing that we are at least ///M3 owners ! So i'm asking myself...for how much longer i'm a BMW customer when they do nothing ? Also...we have seen on here bearing failures on ///M3's built end 2013 with only 6,700 miles on it ,so the last made ///M3's with bearing failures and that's why i'm thinking BMW has no solution for the bearings ,because when they had a solution then at least the last cars of 2013, so after 7 years they had to have a bulletproof solution for the bearings ,when not after 7 years.... they never had ! Maybe...In this case is logic thinking the answer for the bearings of the S65--> there is no solution and never was !!!

115000 miles and it runs better all the time. Below is a Blackstone report for 111000, I was slow sending it in.
$1,000,000 question! What is the difference between this car and others that fail with less miles? Assembly technique? Kawasaki? Count me in for the Clevite bearings, IF I MAKE IT THAT LONG! But it looks good. So far. |

Agreed, although it would not seem to be a panacea. Maybe this would have been a car that failed 5k earlier on TWS though, who knows. |
