No SC, but I will track it intensively during 2017.

I feel it is well documented that this car wears through bearings too fast. I believe it's because of insufficient bearing clearance, which is solved through the BE Bearings I installed.

Absolutely no symptoms. When you hear a knock it's usually too late and the engine has to come out of the car.

I have another M3 with 31k miles which is sleeping for winter, but when it wakes up it will get the same treatment.

You know what they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
