Just FYI, low OCIs don't stop bearings coming out looking excessively worn.
Look through all the photos in the rod bearing condition thread,, they include a few who have used 0w-40 over several 10s of thousands of miles.

Oh btw, yea they don't all have rod bearing problems, but then again with most M3s we just don't know, but for those people who do pull the bearings out (see thread linked above again), the vast majority (maybe over 90%) come out looking excessively worn. But, don't take my word for it, check out Clevite & King racing's papers (pdfs) on bearing wear & causes (they have photos).

And where are the photos of your M3s?
Coming asap!!
