I looked him up but can't figure out where he explains what happened to his car.

Look up his post from November 21 with a picture of the front of the car. In comments he said look at my story to what happened, I looked and he said that they found metal shavings in the filter and now has a rod tick

There does seem to be a definite trend that the engine fail rate decreases after 60k miles....consistent with poor tolerance management during parts manufacture rather than a deficiency in the actual clearance specification. Else why are there still ~60,000 cars still driving around fine rather than littering every corner with a broken engine....now that they are heading towards 11 years old and mostly with high mileages. |

I would not assume the 60,000 M3 are mostly higher mileage. Based on what members here write, it seems like the majority of owners don’t accumulate a lot of miles. I agree though that probably 90% of these cars are still driving fine on their original bearings at 5-10 years old. On the other hand, bearings from most 20-25 year old E36M3 will look only lightly worn while most bearings removed from E9xM3 look heavily worn.

As ever the UK market remains obstinately reluctant to see anything like the same levels of engine problems that the USA market has (as a function of number of cars in circulation.)
You guys seem to have 2 or 3 lunched engines a month reported on M3post (although it seems less than that more recently - especially if you count only rod bearing failures)...we are unlikely to see that in a year reported on our big M3 forum....and also it seems less lately in the UK. You'd have thought that as cars age and mileages increase that the numbers would be on an ever increasing curve upwards. Last edited by Sneaky Pete; 12-29-2018 at 10:48 AM.. |

I do know he and I had a discussion about fuel injector failures and some correlation to recently changed fuel filters. We both on our own came up with a purge routine we do after a filter change now to flush 2-3 gal down the lines and prevent debris carry-through. |

I would imagine you would have to look at what BMW changed when they developed the S65 from the S85. That being the Vanos with associated changes to the lubrication system and the ion sensing anti knock system...being the principle changes. However I've never tracked the S85 engine failure rate (apart from the first batch of failures which in every case the owner had applied an ECU tune) so I can't make any comparisons with S65 failures. I have though followed S65 failures in the UK and the USA...and there is a clear and significant difference in failure rate as a function of cars sold. That needs to be accounted for...pretending its not happening just clouds the issue. What also complicates things is that it appears that cars that had RB replacements with oem spec bearings that were later pulled apart for inspection had bearing in good condition. |

He has "fixed" 8-9 (non stuck fuel injector) S65 engines this year...thats a relatively small number. Ask any USA BMW M engine rebuilder how many engines he had had in over the same period and it would not be a small number at all. Trying to make an apples to oranges comparison never works out well. |
