Really? Which part number? Get specific guy. We've seen ALL fail, including the latest ones on the F80/82

Mine went out at 88K miles, and my car was run at the track beginning at 38K miles. The average life expectancy for the 335I electronic, stand alone, map based water pump is 80K miles. Just exposing your ignorance here.

Childish insults don't go over well with me, or the moderators. I'm implying that changing your oil whenever the oil analyzer sez it's done, i.e dealership planned obsolescence (look up this term to better educate yourself), is a bad idea for you.

You are exposing your ignorance on engines. The rpm redline on the N54 is 6,800rpms. The rpm redline on the S65 is 8,400rpms. BIG DIFFERENCE, in terms of "bearing load"

No, you missed my point, because of your poor reading comprehension skills. I'm equating a failed engine component (bearings), with a failed turbo component (bearings), and trying in vein to make you realize, that high oil change intervals, are bad for bearings.

Perhaps this is why you 'just don't get it' ? Makes a lot of sense now. You've now 'taken ownership' of your position on the bearing issue and you take it as a personal insult when people bash on the S65 motor. If I had a dime when someone made this argument... well I wouldn't have much money because only kids would say it and I don't talk to many kids about complex topics.

Your just new to these arguments guy. If I had a dime for every time some childish troll, came on here to compare other cars to the E9X M3 like you just did, I'd be rich. It's just poetic justice that guys like you are now getting a taste of your own medicine with other car companies making bearings with tight tolerances, now seeing failure rates much, much higher than BMW.
