Also, what do you think the average mileage is across all M3's? If you include 2012's and 2013's, probably around 30k-40k? At 10k miles/year an 2008 would have around 60k miles, and a 2013 would have 10k, so I think this is a pretty reasonable guess. That fact that as many as 4% of engines with an average of 30k miles have already failed is bad news for those looking to get 100k out of the car. That could mean a failure rate as high as 12% by 90k miles.

I get these are "worst case" numbers but lets not pretend that 2-4% range is fixed. It will only continue to go up as these cars age.
That's what I call a "logical reasoning" !
But also speculation , because we saw on here several with +100K on it and someone with + 170K on it !
Are this the real winners ...
About his very reliable source I'm agreed , and BMW will do nothing , and the only thing they do is..."Financial speculation"
