But for people to say.......it's a sewing machine, noises are normal, Rod bearings should fail in this mystical motor is all crap. It's just a V8 NA motor. Please enlighten me to its sophistication in comparison to other V8's on the market. Please explain to me why my buddies 1992 Mustang 5.0 with exhaust and a blower has over 300,000 miles on original engine parts and it will destroy my M3 and it costs $35000 with its upgrades. I'm not picking on you bud but everyone is ignoring the fact people are having their M3's die and it's not fair.

nothing is ever ground breaking anymore. unless you are driving a La Ferrari.
I haven't seen many engines like the S65 and S85 other than engines that come out of Lamborghini and Ferrari.
the S65 has over 100HP for every liter ( for a naturally aspirated engine). it revs past 8kRPM , It has individual throttle bodies.
I was driving a Ls3 camaro SS, when i was looking into E92 M3s. I was amazed how much power a little 4.0L engine was putting out. How cool it sounded also. the only comparable engine i see is a Ferrari v8 engine. that is going to give you the same type of high revving feeling.
