I'm going to read up on that one now. [edit] Ruebsteak added to list.

Btw, with my recent job move to BMW, I was told today by a work college about a 2013 year M3 which threw it's rod big style, he showed me the pictures of the block with massive holes in it! He's agreed to share the photos with me (ones without VIN or the reg anyway, which is fair enough), we just didn't have time today. So 2 postings in a row of LCI engine failures!

So all I have atm are a few details, as mentioned it's a 2013 model, had done about 40k miles, the engine blew during the 1st week of Covid lockdown here in the UK, so March 2020 IIRC. As I understand it, the guy hadn't long bought it, but by a massive stroke of luck for him the previous owner had bought extended warrantee for the car, and it had 1 week left when the engine blew!! How lucky was that!? lol

This car was repaired at a BMW dealer in Southampton (my college's former work place).
I will add this case when I (hopefully) get the photos, I need to check that it hasn't been submitted here 1st, but I doubt it.
