Unfortunately I'm probably not going to be able to get one for another year or so due to me having two accidents on my record and my insurance would be sky high. But when I do seriously start searching I'll hit you up! |

This post would have been quite useful had I seen it!
P.S. Sorry for not adding anything to the conversation, I am just trying to post a new thread but I can't yet... |

Clearly haven’t read any of the threads about the issue.
Your car could be fine for the next 100,000 miles or blow up tomorrow. Bearings have gone wel before your mileage for others. To each their own, the cost of replacement seems like cheap insurance to me compared to the alternative. |

when i was buying my car (2008 e90 m3), the previous owner had an extended warranty ... but there was only about 9 months left
car only had 57,500 miles at the time it was either buy the car with the warranty or take $1200 off the selling price as the previous owner can cancel and get a prorated refund i opted to take the price of the warranty off and just use that money toward a preemptive rod bearing replacement + other maintenance work because chances are ... the warranty will expire without actually needing to use it at all and then i'd still have to spend the money anyway i didn't want the nagging idea in the back of my head that my engine can grenade at anytime and even if the warranty took care of the problem without any resistance, just being without a car for however long it takes to repair would be hassle enough the rod bearings did show enough signs of wear that i felt good about my decision to do the swap right away AND back on original topic i wish i had known more about the difference between 2008 models and 2009+ models the flywheels + clutch that must be replaced together on '08 models the idrive CCC v CIC system the updated taillights for 09+ armed with more knowledge, i probably would have searched harder for a '09+ model although my '08 is in great condition both visually and mechanically and it was really difficult to find a sedan + 6mt + slicktop that was CA smog compliant at the time i was looking

I wish I knew this earlier ... it took until my 3rd E9x ///M to realize that there are M-Button settings (always used these) and M-Key settings ... for initial start up!
Sweet!

I have enjoyed this website and forum for years but it is the most frustrating site, especially when trying to load photos. With that in mind, I wish that I downloaded the APP earlier as it is intuitive and very easy to use. One of the best features is the "my forums" tab that allows me to move around topic areas quick and easy
