Cold driving and lack of warmup is probably main cause along with maintenance of oil. This is a REAL issue with the manufacturer though. If you cannot get 100,000 on original bearings......there is a clear defect. Do we not all agree 100,000 miles is a conservative number to expect from ANY passenger vehicle regardless of vehicle class. The fact it's a sports car does not exclude it from basic assumed reliability by customers. I had to do mine at 40,000! I am the 2nd owner so who knows what homeboy did before me. All I know is all the other components of my car are in working order and show no signs of track use.....no scratched up brake assembly bolts, no scratched brake line breeders, blue paint on all engine bolts has not been compromised. So my car is a FACT that engine bearings are shitty and defective! I have videos of before and after to prove all and my fucked up 40,000 mile bearings on hand!!!!

i dont expect a Lamborghini v12 engine or v10 to last 100k miles without problems. I expect a Toyota corolla to last over 100k miles without any problems.
high performance engines , specially high revving ones are more extreme engines. They run so much harder, and need a lot more care. |
Way to go Apples to Oranges! Neither a Camry or an M3 is anywhere close to a Lambo. Way to reach though. Let's stay bellow 90g's bud. |
I think people have said many times on here that the s65 and s86 are near exotic type engines |
Yeah, I'm gonna say no. The M3 is a nicer Corvette, Mustang, Camaro. I could buy a Boss Mustang and smoke my or anyone's M3 all day. Exotic is exotic and production numbers and cost are the real factors. Don't get me wrong, I love BMW's but they are not on the level of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Masaratti, or many more. So this god damn motor shouldn't have the issues people are having. It is capable on a track but not a race car.
