The problem is more the 15 posters who haven't answered. I suspect a good number of them voted by mistake, given that actually having a blown engine is an incentive to reply while voting by mistake isn't. I'll give it a few more days then re-message. It will be a shame not to get a full set of answers, as when combined with the other thread it would give a better idea of whats going on. |

No reason, other than curious why are you are so passionate about these damn bearings?
Are you hoping to summarise your findings at some stage? SenorFP, I know of people not on here and also people who are, that haven't voted. Most forum members I have spoken to with failed bearings haven't voted in this thread |

My bearing thread isn't about blown motors, it'a about clearance measurements. The passion is just to help people. So I'm not tracking blown motors, and no plans to do so. But I am putting the finishing touches on the "redo of 2014." Might finish it tonight, but most likely tomorrow.

If blown motors are so common it seems like this guy should have an easier time finding a car: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=925946

I bought one six months ago under $30k, included new AA stage-3 supercharger with meth, new racing clutch, AA exhaust, and roll cage. New parts had 1k miles on them. Car was in very clean shape...but engine was blown.

i think this has nothing to do with what year the car was made. I believe its all about how many miles and how you maintained your car over the years. I dont think bmw has made any change to the engine over the years, so the question should be what mileage and what are your driving habits more so that what year. Knowing that there is an issue with the oil and the clearness one should take a few extra minutes to let the car warm up and get to temp as i believe most of the harm is caused when the engine oil is cold.. my 2 cents
