Not my car, currently swapping in BMW reman'd replacement for a customer.
Good pics tough to get at the moment as the ventilated area is just above the steering rack.

Did BMW not cover these engines under factory warranty or are you guys a tech for a BMW dealership?
Just shocked how many engines 'regular guy' has seen that failed. I have a few friends who are techs at BMW dealers that see M3s often but do not see anywhere near the failure rate as seen posted in this thread!
