Least you think I've not modded...I had a turbo 350Z that ran great. But the S65 wasn't meant for a blower.

Okay so the latest is that the warranty company wants copies of the service history...
I just bought the car 2 months ago, but the previous owner did give me all of the receipt history covering the services performed from 26k miles up to current... How would I obtain the service records prior to 26k? Can any BMW dealership extract that information from a PC? |

Consider this also..when people went to their dealerships to testdrive the new e92 M3 during its production years, i believe almost nobody waited for the engine to be warmed up before stepping on it. Think of it, you've heard about it and finally testdriving the new m3, even the salesman will ask you to get on it hard (i've witnessed it). Well, sorry but that is not ok for racing engines and the s65 is one of the closest to a racing engine you get on a commercial car. The engine then develops a B problem. I believe almost every single M3 that has been on a dealership parking lot went through some abuse before being fully broken in. For me the first condition of buying an M3 was to get it ordered straight from the factory into my hands or from an original owner who factory ordered it. It was one of the first decision i made when i got interested in the car. Last edited by nthretourNAFTW; 04-28-2015 at 02:48 PM.. |

At this point, it absolutely seems like it's "luck of the draw". If the failure rates will truly be just 2-4% over the life of these engines, the odds are greatly in our favor, but I still hope that the true cause of these failures is determined, and a definitive, accepted "fix" is agreed on at some point in the near future. |

I honestly hope your warranty comes through for you, but a 3rd party company is not going to shell out $20K+ without a fight. So be prepared.

A spun rod bearing can eat itself in a few miles. Just because blackstone didn't show a high amount of wear metals at the time of the analysis, doesn't mean it has no worth.

Car could also be abused. So best bet, as you mentioned...get one new but it's hard to get the discontinued E9x in these days brand spanking new...sooo here we are many enthusiast's with no really out of this drama...unless not someone find's a way to drag BMW to court and cash up for all the unfortunate car-enthusiasts. I think, if this tick-tick-S65 boom histeria, is real talk BMW will sooner or later have to pay the bill. So a little advice from my side, normally expensive now for free: No matter what happen's to your motor, don't freak out, keep calm if you even don't have any warranty left because justice will prevail |

The a spun bearing can happen suddenly or slowly. Oil analysis still gives you a picture of what is going on in the engine - at least the wear that you can see from the analysis report.
