Let's say we have only captured about 1/10th of the real world failures since most owners don't post here. That's still less than a 1% failure rate in the North American market.
I'm sure the publicity the E46 problem got helped to drive up forum reporting. But then again the forum was still mostly nerds back then and wasn't as mainstream as it is now. Either way I have not seen much of anything about S65 failures outside of this little world, and I heard about the E46 bearing issue back in 03 through motorsports channels. S85 yeah they have gotten some press, but mostly VANOS related, plus $100k cars get more attention when they blow up than plebe M3's
