Seems like the 2010 models fare the best. Good luck OP.

Can you give a little more detail on this?
Car year/transmission/if modified/USA state/reason for failure
thanks

It must be because they are using a new supplier or something as there are many m3s that are older that havent had that.

did you get a price break-down as to how much the new motor is with labor?

X5-User · 08-18-2014, 10:13 PM

Are rod bearings that weak to break at 20k miles?!! Why BMW didn't use better quality for engine worth 25k ?!!

Keep seeing 2012 and 2013 with failure.

ridiculousness all-around!

They gave me the copy of the Repair Order without all the cost breakdowns, but a friend of mine is the Service Director there so I glanced at it for a while...$24,000 total for the Repair Order

I've put about 1000 miles on the car with the new engine and no issues.
