VAC Motorsports posted their coated bearings as a maintenance item. So even with a stock engine I would consider having them done.

I know this bearing fix/update is pretty new, because I just upgraded from 600 to 650 less than 2-3 months ago and it was not included. I pushed my car to the limit on a daily basis. (Last year I had some high speed problems with the kit that would cause a knocking noise at 125mph, it was later fixed with an "updated tune". Who knows maybe that caused some kind of damage, even Roman from ESS told me himself that not many people drive that hard, and they needed feedback from more aggressive owners. I did over 38,000 miles in 2 years, 20k supercharged. Top speeds on the track of 170+ I think I drove harder and more frequent than 80% of all owners of these kits. I am curious to see if more engines will start to blow as time passes and they put on more "wear/tear". Last edited by Brooklyn Mark; 06-11-2013 at 03:40 PM.. |

why?? def shouldn't be the case. Just like this forum has gotten people to believe that changing the bearings is "almost" like a maintenance item. Is it insurance for boost?? sure, but nothing to be overly concerned about. Cars should last 250k + miles with nothing but maintenance.

um that would def concern me. You should not be able to hear an audible knock. At that point I would say maybe something was compromised. |

Time will tell. But you are right, should not be the case. Long oil service intervals and tighter oil clearances will show their true colors. Boost does not have all to do with this.

How could boost not having anything to do with it? Even with the best tune and under the best conditions more pressure equals more friction, more wear and everything else. The only people seem to be not believing this are people with SC.

Hey, I believe there is an issue. I have said it before. SC or not, it is happening. People with NA cars do not drive them easier or sit in the driveway until temps get up a bit before driving off. In fact I drove my car more aggressivley more frequently when it was NA. A client just traded his 2010 M3 in as lease was over. His car had 2 oil changes. Pity the person that buys that car.

The light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long ... the S65 is no exception to this. I hope the OP gets it worked out, it seems as though this is an anomaly with that low mileage.

Agree, I was simply saying SC is not the sole contributor to this.

Completely agree; from what I've read, it seems like a sudden oil starvation issue, in which case, a dry sump conversion may be in order for supercharging? I'm not knowledgeable as to that cost, but I imagine it's high.

Aren't you the one that put 91 and 89 octane in a supercharged car tuned for 93 and blew your motor?

The m3 was not made for this kind of power. Of course it can handle more power. but 200hp+ over factory and driven hard...... dam.

Col (crying out loud). I would blame the owner for taking a 414hp engine and adding 200+hp to it without beefing up any other part on the engine. Then to think about trying to trick BMW into warrantying it! This is why when we have a real warranty issue, we have to bend over backwards to get our just deserts from BMW.

Yeah I did. It blew up and I bought a new engine and it's currently being built for low compression

Nobody really had issues with the E9X m3 till recently for them to figure out internals need to be built. There's some M3s here that have been supercharged 80k+ miles out of it with no issues. So most would assume it would be no issue. I'm sure more people have blown up their engines and have not posted it publicly because people start pointing fingers and bashing on them. Just be happy he posted it so other forum members can be more cautious.
