My point was only that the anxiety remains, even after dropping $3k to alleviate the anxiety. You spend the $ and then have to hope the shop did the install correctly. Would still be in the back of my mind when I drove the car.

Have there been other (multiple) examples of individuals changing their RBs and then experiencing a related failure?
I do think their is credence to your opinion above and tend to agree to some extent.
Regardless, this is not a cut and dry issue with the s65 and the type of RB, installation process, etc. all play a factor it would appear.
We still don't know why some s65s are still running strong on 150-200k miles and some failed sub 50k. It's too bad BMW has never weighed in on the matter to assist their M enthusiasts. |
But we kinda do know why some last. Statistical probability and tolerance stack.
If you have a tight engine, it will fail sooner than one with proper clearance. Simple physics. Well, not so simple hydrodynamic bearing physics.
