E92 m3 blown engine
So my engine just blew@59000miles
Engine oil always on time, added when needed. 98fuel only(93 in US) STOCK!! just an exhaust. No track'ing the car. Ofcourse redlining sometimes as everybody No faults,no nothing on the screen before that, no sinctoms of engine,any. Went to autobahn from other connecting road, 3rd gear full throttle and at about 6Krpm loud clicking noise,and 2sec latter white smoke in the rear and engine shut down. Oil all under the car, smoke from under the hood, a lot of smoke.... will update with photos later...so sad, so sad and so unexpected. Could'nt sleep all night thinking of what was hapened I understand if it was S/C'ed or some shitty ECU,but now - well maintained stock engine. Never mis-shifted(6MT), and i know how to drive Last edited by z00m; 04-19-2011 at 08:07 AM.. |

Sorry to hear ...
2008? I'm guessing a rod bearing failure

Did you use the stock air filter or do you have a aftermarket gauze type?
Sorry to hear about it though. Hope they take care of you.

http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=448631 I see here speeds in excess of 300 kmh, and a lot of street racing.... I feel sorry for what happened to you, and was really concerned that a stock car can have a blown engine so early, as my M3 is really stock...my concern now started to fade away though.

I would remove all those videos if I were you, don't want bmw to see them and tell you that they dont want to touch the car.. my opinion.

This is what the car was designed to do. I didn't see any abuse or misuse on these videos (which were pretty cool) so I'm still wondering why the blown engine. His mods are basic and the car looks well-kept. Real track time is far far more grueling than a few blasts to the top end.
Having said that, I am quite disappointed that the Evo pulled on him.

It just sounds like a 1-off issue to me. BMW will probably replace the engine so long as they determine it was not caused by an aftermarket part or some tune messing up the A/F ratio.

Wow, that EVO must have had a modified gear box to do 180mph. I'm surprised his M3 didn't run the EVO down sooner. Granted they offer higher end EVOs in Europe than they do here so maybe it had some different gearing from the factory.

Who cares. He obviously doesn't have any major mods done to the car. I think he means "stock" - not S/C'ed. I'm curious to see why this happened. Very rare...

Hope you get it fixed without major headaches... mine was build 10.2007 so I hope this is not issue...
Regarding the Evo pulling on the M it doesn´t surprise me one bit... 440 horsepower wich is more or less the same as the bimmer but with considerably less wheight... of course it is gonna pull away even if you take 4WD into consideration. |
