Punctured engine block
So as some of you know, purchased a used 2008 bmw m3 with 110k miles. After 4 days of driving it, engine blew.... ends up being that a rod punctured the engine block... took it back to the dealership I bought it from and were weighing options. Trying to see if bmw of America can do anything... if not, looks like we have to swap the engine with a used one
I'm here to share my sadness with you guys Haha |

Incredible.. Really. As an ex auto mechanic I can not fathom that a company like BMW screwed up the design of a simple rod bearing. It really is hard to believe. My Acura TLs has 178,000 miles on it.. Purrrrs like a kitten
My 08 M3 roars like a Lion... but for how long? |

That's two or three members with bearing failure in the last two weeks. I hope it is not a sign of what is to come as these cars are hitting 100,000 miles.

Known issue with our cars 2008-2013 get the red bearing fix costing anywhere from 2000-3000 and you are all set. Unfortunately for you it destroyed the engine before you got a chance to take care of this. Hopefully BMW NA can Goodwill or help out with some of the cost.

Did you heard any suspicious noises before your S65 blew ?

While BMW knows from *2005* that the S85-B50 bearings failed ! That's 13 years...and more BF's will come for sure !

I know from my database , the worldwide S65 bearing failure is real ! And I know also that only a small % of the worldwide bearing failures are on Bimmerpost . And that only 40-50 % of the Bimmerpost members will post a S65 bearing failure . Actually It's a normal reaction . Because people think about the value of the car. It's for sure the whole situation is pretty bad for the S65 reputation...

Someone has a F82 engine and trans foe sale on here for $8,700 shipped with 9k miles. Hard to believe our engines cost so much more used(I understand why, just surprised the new M engines are so cheap!). Put a lower mile S65 in and change the bearings and seals before you do it and you should get years of enjoyment out of it. Sorry this happened to you. Were you at really high RPM's when it happened?

Yes looks like he’s parting out, but it looks like he’s parting out a whole car. He has the interior there. Of course ask for the ODO from same car.

I am a bit curious why you hanged on to your M3 for all these years and at the same time been quite vocal about blown engines. Is it because of lost value that makes selling it an unnatractive option which i understand or because the thrill is worth the engine concerns to you ?
