Like a board member here who hired a lawyer to get their engine fixed. I'm sure having this list doesn't hurt.

Don't get me wrong - I'm all in favor of the registry. I owned a 2001 M3 and I had my motor replaced so I'm very familiar with these issues.
I'm just saying I agree with the folks who say don't go off and spend $5K on having your engine disassembled and measured because nobody (except for BMW) knows if this is a significant problem or not.
