I don't get the whole idea of doing this, please educate me. First of all, why doesn't BMW do a recall on this issue? Why consumers have to do the upgrade themselves at local shops? Does BMW offer this upgrade? Is this a mandatory for S55??

Nail on the head. BMW has no reason to fix it given that modified cars are the ones failing 99% of the time.

BMW wouldn't fix it even if it happened on only stock cars. They declined to fix S85 and S65 rod bearing issues which were much more widespread and affected unmodified cars.

Not True, A co-worker of mines M4 Comp (Tuned) had the crank Hub issue and Bmw here in Alabama replaced his engine. Needless to say he got rid of it soon after that.

It took BMW years to even acknowledge the fact that rod bearings were a common premature failure point on all early S54 engines. And still they refused to acknowledge the fact that it was a problem on all S54 engines, not just the early ones. The Vanos hub issues were discovered after most S54 engines were already out of warranty. BMW never acknowledged this as a problem, even though it was more widespread than rod bearing failure. |

It happens to n55 engines too. They been pumping these engines since 07 . Just n55 weren't being modify to 450hp. At least the solution we have so far is good for the time being but 20 hrs of replacing ur crank hub is kinda of long. N if it happens twice. More time being without the car.
