lol nice reaction btw. The problem might be real, as with any engine part, things will break. How about you read my previous post and point out the part when I said, "Shit breaks." And tell me you read that part before you try to reply some smart aleck comment looking down on others.

Wow so few failures and we still have 1 or 2 people that get so upset and can't accept that NO CRANK HUB ISSUE EXISTS‼️
As I had said earlier for those that have been spooked for no reason, be thankful that there is no proof at all a problem exists. So sad that many with no engine problems at all were so spooked that they had their engine tore apart and replaced a factory part with an aftermarket part that was absolutely not necessary. Expensive and sucks to lose engine warranty for no reason. |

The problem isn't real
Ive had no issue (9/14 build with 6mt) and since my experience is exactly the same as everyone else's, and everyone knows that, I can state what is and isn't real based on my experience (which in turn is EVERYBODY'S experience). In all seriousness guys, this is a forum and people can post anything they want within the rules. It's up to YOU to believe it or call BS. Vendors gotta vend and trolls gotta troll...

Man you guys are a tough crowd. Whether or not a "stock" crank hub issue exists, is irrelevant at this point for sa x sky. He is the user with all the woes because he heavily modified his vehicle to push this platform to the limit and everyone here is lynching the guy because of it. He, as well as other vendors here, found a part which has failures when the engine is pushed beyond stock and try to seek a solution for the issue but they get condemned. I understand that some may view the tpg as pressuring people to fix this flaw and say it is a widespread issue but they did not twist anyone's arm to buy their part. I do agree that they should have done further testing and r&d but it's too late for that now. We can only look forward in hopes that if there is a "real" crank hub failure that there is a permanent fix and solution for individuals who like the option of modifying their vehicles, whether it is fbo or an all out engine build like sa x sky is doing. The way I look at it, companies do this not only to profit but also help out the community. I'd rather have companies pushing the envelope and breaking parts while offering a solution and sharing their findings than one that is hush hush about everything and only offering up the best to people in the know.
I think we should all bring it down a notch and stop the finger pointing. The fact of the matter is that a few users who have modified their vehicles or have money shifted have seen some crank hub failures, there is no denying that. How widespread is the question that remains. Users that have been affected are looking for a solution to a problem. They really don't have to share their findings but they are. Because they are, there is a huge backlash from others who are not even affected by the issue that just want to give their two cents. I think it needs to stop. To all the vendors and users taking this platform to the next level, I applaud you for your efforts. I know you can all easily walk away from this forum and not give anymore insight on future findings about the " crank hub issue" but I urge you to continue to share your findings. You guys are the pioneers of this platform and either really experienced this failure or you are all just crazy and posting a whole bunch of nonsense to scare the crap out of all f8x owners . I'm inclined to believe it is the former . I hope everything gets sorted out and a solution can be had in the near future. |

(2.) If you're claiming that you've identified the part which will fail first more often than all others, the crank hub, then you should back up that claim with either: a.) test cell data over thousands of tests, b.) a computer scenario that accounts for manufacturing tolerances and probable mean times to failure, or c.) part failure data across all M4 engines. (3.) If you're saying you have a few anecdotes and are soliciting data to see if they fit a broader pattern - thus proving your hypothesis, well ... then that's a question, not a statement. So do you have significant data or are you using a few anecdotes and attempting extrapolate to a broader point? |

Not my dog...not my fight; however....
The failure point of any collection of parts can be found with the proper amount of stress at it's weakest connection. |

If TPG didn't push the part like it was needed by all, there would be no discussion. That is what they did as seen by the wording in their forum and facebook posts where they utilize a scare tactics to create sales. And they still are selling a part for a profit (not to help the community) that is known to fail on their site even after all of this. It's clear that they don't care. If they cared about this community the part would no longer be for sale.

Don't be mad. Simple fact that you are using BMW for drag racing shows you have no idea what you are doing. Research a proper platform and move on...quit abusing that poor car.

There is no issue, just an issue with the way we drive/use/modify the cars. No company has fully understood the s55, so no company can know how their stuff is effecting the cars. Over 50,000 pages of coding. So when someone has gone through it, understood it, and understand how something on page 2 effects something on page 49,657 by interacting with something on page 7,912 because of what's stated on page 24,373 then let me know.

I have been very critical of the design of your product, as you are well aware of. I have tried to keep my posts constructive and tried to stay away from personal insults etc. I may have failed that goal a few times, but my aim has been to pinpoint some weak points on your product, and tried to explain why I think they are weak points. The easy solution would have been just to say it's a poor design, period. But without any explanation as to why I thought they where weak points, no real progress or understanding would have been brought to light. Whether the slipped stock sprocket really is an issue beyond a few cars, or within a certain production period, remains to be seen I guess. However, if my input here in any way have helped you to get back on the drawing board and possibly create a better product for those that modify their cars, then nothing would please me more. If a forum can be a place where constructive criticism and debate takes place, and where we actually can learn new things from each other, then that forum serves a purpose beyond "entertainment". I have personally learned a lot during my time on these forums. Last edited by Boss330; 02-15-2016 at 05:40 AM.. |

Why would I fabricate JB4 codes to pop up if it wasn't legit? You've coded his car before. |

Why would you call it stock if there's a JB4 on it?

I wonder if the hard DCT shifts, and the effect that has on crank rpm, can be an issue here, as we have discussed before... Was there a JB4 on the car when it happened? |
