In terms of a fix who knows maybe if they make a fix it's an admission of guilt and thus an expensive mass recall must be done. So on a cost analysis maybe it's cheaper to fix the few blown motors that occur vs. repair all the motors ever made, essentially the Subaru approach for ringland failure.

Even other manufacturers have similar issue, The FA20 motor is subbies throw rods even when stock. My previous S2K ate timing chain tensioners and would need constant valve maintenance. So on and so forth. |

And another thing to note issues are always blown out of proportion on the forum since everyone comes onto these things to complain. Hmm weird ive never heard of the FA20 throwing rods, that's not good lol.

Most likely, that's a huge shock on the drivetrain. It might be on the same level or a bit less than just having the dct kick down.

But yeah like others have said if it's stock just keep it as is, maybe get a crank bolt capture but that's it. Because if the hub solutions go it'll probably take your motor out too.

One M2 after two years of production. Who knows what percentage of M2s will eventually succumb to the issue. Maybe you will need two M2Cs to keep one on the road in 10 years. The only thing we know now is BMW doesn't have a great track record compared to, say, Lexus. |
