Another s65 bites the dust in Netherlands

[aussiem3]

An ///flight member's car with 160k km blew at 200 km/h. It emptied the oil under the car.

Window the block or the pan?

Hi my friend ,
Oughhhh ...That looks really game over , and of course we know what happend !

But....
The ///M3 in your picture is "NOT" from the Netherlands .
Because I see "Belgian plates" on the car , I have exactly the same plates .

"Plates from Belgium" => are white with red letters .
"Plates from Netherlands" => are yellow with black letters .

The picture below shows a Belgian plate => A white plate with red letters on it and with the "B" from "Belgium"

But I would love to know more about the poor guy...
Do you know if he is a member on Bimmerpost ?

Here a Belgian plate and just like the ///M3 in your picture ...

Still pretty high though... Guess even higher mileage cars aren't safe either...

Getting my bearings done this week hopefully. Just tired of even thinking about it.

Yup, then at least you don't have to worry about it... My warranty on my new engine runs out next summer, and I will be doing my bearings as soon as it ends...

I'm at 162k km and this thread is a good reminder.

15k currently... Likely to be about 30k by the time the warranty is up, which is still pretty low for a bearing preventative, but I just don't want to worry about it...

With only 15K on it, and if your S65 had oil changes like it should be , than normally you're fine .

Damn .. as I said above , I really would love to know more about the Belgian (in the pic) with probably BF .
I really wonder from where OP got the picture , and I would contact the Belgian as well to know more what actually happend ?
I'm waiting for more updates.......................................

Can't be too many Frozen Gray M3's running around in your town...

No details? This could be anything.

Did this car hit a speed bump and crack the aluminum pan?

[jcolley]

Must be all that ethanol in their gas.

The skid plate makes that relatively impossible.

Also looks like he's on a highway.

[javarithms]

Something similar to this maybe...

Yep when mine ended I replaced a couple months later...like world's weight off your shoulders. It really is all a gamble and convinced it's just a reality with any high revving NA M motor....purely preventative maintenance.

I am sadly the only ///M3 owner in my town , V8's are too expensive over here due the insane Belgian driver taxes .
My car is SSII , not frozen gray
