The Ceratec additive has caused ticking sounds? Or the 10w60 oil? I remember when I switched from liqui moly 10w60 to motul xpower 10w60 my mpg went up and the car felt way smoother. Any reasoning behind the 5w50? How long are your oil change intervals? Any other secret sauces or tips? |

I am just tryinh to figure out the best option based on accurate data. It may be stupid to not change them out, it may be a waste of money. All I am saying is it sucks its all over the internet that there have been rod bearing failures on e9x because it hurts our cars resale value. Wish there was a cheaper fix, extended warranty, or better data that shows the failure only happens when the oil is not changed enough or something like that. Hope that makes more sense.

I don't know about you but when I buy a car I look at resale values. The e46 m3 is appreciating like crazy! Low mileage ones go for over 50k. If this rod bearing issue was not all over the internet i bet the e9x would appreciate much better also. Because all the new m3/m4 are turbo.

You are the man! I needed solace. This gives me that. My 11 m3 dct has 58k miles. Think i should buy an extended powertrain warranty? Going back and forth. Never has had issues except the throttle actuators have been replaced. |

I already said that and even posted here the thread where I showed my old bearings. You are a waste of time.

Hey Man, don't be like that. It's cool you got yours replaced. Atleast you have that peace of mind and I am sure some performance improvements. I am just trying to figure out if it is necessary to replace the bearings. It seems to be a grey area and a repair that expensive is significant.

Hey guys.. i know this is probably not the right place, i am just trying to see if anyone has experience with high manganese levels in oil? Probably wrong place to post this.. sorry. But i was somewhat concerned... Does anyone know what parts of our engines use manganese? My most recent oil analysis was normal except for high manganese. I read somewhere online that manganese is used sometimes on anti friction bearings and in other alloys. This oil wad bmw twin turbo 10w60 on a 2011 m3 dct. All other levels are normal but manganese was 95 while 6k miles ago it was only 1. Very interesting. Any direction is appreciated.

No, 2011+ doesn't matter, they still often come out looking terrible with the added bonus of not having lead as a substrate to track on blackstone et al analysis

No I am not. I was genuine in my questions. I see you have been following all my posts and comment rudely. If anyone is being like a troll it is you. I don't appreciate it, just been seeking some advice and trying to enjoy the forum with fellow e9x enthusiasts. I don't get what your deal is? This is a forum for entertainment, fun, advice and good community. I hope you can cheer up man. Go enjoy your m3 and take some back roads on a high speed cruise! I don't want any problems. Thank you.
