List updated, added more year dates and added 2 recent cases (M3drop, M3shift) 1 due to RBs spun, the other a stuck open injector!
Tag me if you see other recent cases I've missed!

Any updates as to exactly what went wrong? Been able to get another engine?

Add me to the list.
2008 M3 E90 6MT with 46k miles. I was moving the car around my parking garage and it started idling roughly and then immediately went into limp mode. Spoke with Martin Motorsports who thought it was throttle actuators or fuel pump and that it was safe to drive a few miles to the shop. Engine cut out on the way and wouldn’t restart. Had it towed to the shop. When the shop inspected, there was metal in the oil, damage to rear corner of engine block, and engine wouldn’t turn by hand more than halfway. Unclear if this is rod bearings but seems very likely. It’s unfortunate since I’ve had clean Blackstone oil analyses over the past 10k miles, and the car has had no issues over the past 3.5 years that I’ve owned it. |

Not always mate, their are a small number of cases where no warnings occur from oil analysis, you've even posted in my oil analysis thread haven't you?

Could be main bearings if you didn't hear some kind of 'boom' and or knocking beforehand. [edit] Missed that engine did turn by hand a bit, not seized mains then. Anyway, sorry to hear about your bad luck , could you keep us posted on the diagnosis and outcome?

Is it me, or are the blown reports becoming rarer?

Maybe less common now that perhaps as many as 1/3 of these cars have had their rod bearings changed.

While only a relatively small number of motors have failed, they have failed at all ages and mileages so I doubt that the failures are over. It seems more likely that up to 20,000 preventative maintenance rod bearing replacements saved some motors from failing.

I can't believe it, but time to add me to the list...
2008 M3 E93 with 135,800 miles on ACL replacement bearings (2017, approximately 116,000 miles). Had always been a gem. Car was impeccably maintained as I am a licensed aviation mechanic and perform all servicing myself. Nothing was amiss when the engine grenaded itself on a family daytrip around a national forest near our home. |
