Same as the E92 M3 had rod bearing and throttle body actuator issue, any reputable mechanic can see that BMW didn't designed their motor to last pass the warranty period. I remember when I took apart the throttle body in the E92 M3, the teeth that grips and controls the throttle was made out of plastic, almost guaranteed it was eventually going to wear out and fail. The rod bearing had very tight tolerances between the rod bearings and the crankshaft. So when the engine oil is cold, thus quite viscous, it can't lubricate them well enough to handle the high revs that the engine is capable of. So if you start the car up and immediately rev the nuts off it, you can prematurely wear the rod bearings down. BMW doesn't build vehicles to the likes of Toyota or Honda's reliability, however, they do make good vehicles but they're unfortunately have sort of have a finite shelf-life. |

For those who do not know, the upgrade that a lot of 5.0 owners do as cheap insurance are oil pump gears and crank sprocket. It's a $298 fix to the cheap ones Ford decided to use (and thus if they crack, theyll shatter and then lose all oil pressure and can lock motor. Obviously this is rare). I've really never felt so forgotten/left out when it comes to a major purchase until this car. I do not think my mind can be changed when I say BMW really does not care. I have no experience with Audi so that route does intrigue me...but we will see. Once I get the car back I'm sure I'll love it, but the foul taste has already occurred. And yes, I get it, things happen and my situation is just unlucky, but the stringing along and just utter BS is what makes me upset. Also for reference, BMW tried denying my warranty from a catback. Yeah - me swapping out a catback blew up the motor, messed up the trans, blew the bushings, etc. Rant over. Car is still beautiful. Lol. |

Damn, I would have the same outlook as you after all that. This is your second M2 if I'm not mistaken? I'd honestly have them buy the car back and go else where, especially with all this down time, and still making payments on the damn thing. |

i believe we are complaining about it too much. in the world there are many many s55 without problems. i have alt least 10 customer with a m3/4 who didn't have any problem at all of course in a forum is more likely to hear a failure than anywhere else.
