If this is one of those widly known issues like the Subbie WRX STI lawsuit, then it's different. There isn't enough to say one way or another. People with no business saying anything about engines bs the issue more.

Until I hear from a BMW engineer confirm something, hell with worrying about something like SCH. This isn't the V8 in the E90/E92 with an known design flaw. F8x and the S55 is an extremely sturdy engine and extremely underappreciated because of the acoustics of it. People bitch too much.
Yes and no. That’s what they are saying on the GT350 thread about the oil consumption/blown engine/ replacement thread. Which is roughly 60 pages long and growing.

But, in general I definitely agree with you.

I’ve got no acoustic problems anymore.
