Add me to the list of Blown Motors... unknown cause, but cylinder 6 doesnt hold pressure. Possible main bearing or fuel injector let go at 123K.
2011 e90 m3 [DCT] I had the rod bearings done 2k miles ago and otherwise the car was maintained very well. |

You can add me to the statistics too. It's been an year already, but still haven't figured out the reason, but will part the engine in the following two weeks.
I suspect mains, but still not sure. Here is the thread - https://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1594746 |

The lawsuit has it's own thread somewhere, last I looked it hadn't been updated in about 1-2yrs IIRC.

FYI - Malek's car was also a main bearing failure per the link below: https://www.m3post.com/forums/showpo...5&postcount=58 Makes me wonder, how many of these LCI cars written up as rod bearing failures are actually main first failures but were never tore down fully? It seems pretty alarming that the LCI cars seem to be the only ones spinning mains/seizing without warning while NA. deansbimmer has this been your experience with bearing failures on the 2011+ cars? |

Rod bearing failure can certainly be mis-diagnosed by an inexperienced wrencher but I doubt any experienced tech would overlook main bearing failure as the primary cause. |

The preventative maintenance involves about 3 days of shop labor and requires pulling the motor, removing the trans, and flipping it upside down to pull the bedplate. Deansbimmer did a main bearing guide a while ago. Pretty much no one does this as preventative maintenance due to the time/cost and the fact that relatively few engines have failed due to main bearings.

Funny! My car experience since I got into "non-American performance" has gone like this...
08 ISF ->08 E90 M->11 E92 M->15 F80 M->10 E92 M->16 F82 M->11 E92 M My buddy brought his ISF out with us on an M mountain run a few years ago.. it was the only car that broke down. I'm sure an anomaly but still rather funny. |
