Those are some pretty big and generous assumptions. That would put the failure rate at 1.95% of total population if everything scales equally. That's a very large failure rate to me because I expect there to be about < 0.1% failure rate for a well engineered and well manufactured product. But again, that's just me.
Those are 100% purely imaginative assumptions and therefore speculations, all you do is spread false worries.

1) at any time on the M3 post forum I've seen the number of active users in the 6,000+ to 10,000.
2) There are 181,000+ registered member specifically to the E92 M3 forum. Which indicates there can be falsely counted # cases. Like the owner, his friend, his cousin, etc.. that are not intentional and self aware. honest or not.
3) In a period of half a month to one month most active members would have seen the title of this thread poll in the sub-forum. It has a special poll icon that is hard to miss. Yet we only see 39 cases.
4) The almost unanimous pool of people who had no engine problems or concerns they will may have already decided to ignore and no even click on this thread (probably rightly so)

Ok, I think it is safe to say that by end of January all member votes will be in. At which point I will take the number of cases and divided it by 20,000. As of today that it is only 0.17%. Yes you make up numbers, so can I.

You seem to have made a life goal of the activism on this topic. I do understand that you must have personal reasons -as - your car was affected but you seem to be biased.
