I have read up on his threads on the M5 board and there are some odd inconsistencies - not least that this one guy claims to have worked on more S85 failures (30) on his farm in Germany that the whole of M5board has seen put together. To be fair he seems very knowledgeable and helpful but I suspect that its actually his friend at the BMW factory who has seen that number of engines as exchange returns from worldwide BMW dealers.
Try googling for euro S65 m3 bearing failed cars and see what you can come up with - I tried with little success.
