Engine blew up at 42k miles.
My engine blew up, I have dct and no FI, just tunes. I was hearing clicking sound, so I slowed down and trying to drive off, but about 10 sec later, big boom and smoke came off my engine and exhaust, engine oil and coolant everywhere.

"BMW recommends the following measures before driving on a race track..." followed by: "Operation on race tracks results in a higher rate of wear. The BMW M3 is not designed for use in competitive motorsports. This wear is not covered by the vehicle warranty" I read that a while ago and took it literally (the competitive motorsports part). I guess it's one of those things open to interpretation and if it was apparent it happened at a track maybe the wouldn't cover it?

Setting the track aside, you're also modded significantly enough for them to make a laundry list of why it happened.
Sounds like you're just gonna have to bite the pillow.

Were you at putnam with 1010ths motorsports? I ran with them earlier this year. Still should not let you exit your car and take those pictures under a red + black flag session. That asside, Yes keep us posted. However since you've had it towed to a dealership, you might want to delete the picture of your License plate, unless you want to be honest with them, and let them know you were tracking the car with the mods, when this happened.

HPDE is not competitive motorsports. Either way, no matter what the literature sez, if you let them know you were at a track when this happened, that warranty is voided.

Oh I agree. I guess I should have elaborated. I said I took that literally meaning my hope was that, by definition, if I did an HPDE it would not void warranty. But that may not be the case since it's up to their judgement

Did you tell the dealership that you were at the track? Best thing to do would have been to tow it to your indy shop to take out some of your mods, before going to the dealership, if it is engine failure. Also delete the picture of your plates, and delete the picture with the putnam tow truck. Dealerships have been known to check out forums.

It's you that don't wants to know what's wrong , but actually we all know ! What else than a big black hole after a big BOOM with oil and coolant all over the place ! But I can please you if you want to by saying OP's car is running just perfect and strong . But damn again @Killerfish I said yesterday that I have "NOTHING AGAINST YOU" , for my anger it's all about against BMW because things like OP situation "NEVER" should/may happen . Actually I like NOT discussing with people over this shit and also not with you ! For me it's all about our S65's and that's not a KIA-engine but we are talking about a $-25K rebuilt ///M engine without labour costs that blows all over the world and that's my/our S65 engine problem and NOT YOU . Do you understand ?
