I tire of hearing the penny wise and pound foolish advocation of extended OCIs. That is my point. I fully understand burning it off with long drives. That is why short commutes are "severe service" and short OCIs are needed for the majority of M daily drivers in the US. But don't discount the dirt in oil either! It's a major factor in bearing wear especially when the oil is saturated with fuel and acids. Change your oil! Often

Here is a trucker that sent oil samples to Polaris and Blackstone and here is the result : "Blackstone said this sample was good and suggested increasing the change interval to 18,000. Polaris flagged fuel dilution & showed a little more lead than the same oil at blackstone." http://www.machinerylubrication.com/...l-diluents-oil That is not all, the problem with ethanol is when the engine is cold ethanol is no longer miscible with the cold oil and will sit on top of the oil. So the sample should be taken on a warm engine and analyzed with GM. |

The only way to "possibly" get some more details about the car and what happened to it is to reach out to Mike Benvo BPMSport or BPM or Sam @ BPM Sport. Mike made the original posting after the car came into his shop with 260,000 miles, the original rod bearings and original Throttle Actuators back in 2015. The car was a 2008 E90 M3 sedan and used mainly for highway use by a woman who commuted hundreds of miles to work.. Knowing "the rest of the story" would be intriguing for many. In fact, just knowing what OEM rod bearings at 260,000 miles looked like would be amazing. Green-Eggs had arranged for the rod bearings to be swopped out to be BE Bearings (the gold standard) according to earlier posts ->

Haven't seen this car again. No news is good news they say.
On the flip side, acquired an E92 owned by a personal friend. It has about 175k on the clock. Original bearings, original owner. Tuned for many many years. Runs like a champ. I will be replacing the bearings at some point in the future and will definitely post the condition of the original ones once I do. |
