From what I read you also had a meth kit and are routinely drag racing the car. You are genuinely surprised you guys have found a part (or parts) that were pushed past its design limits? |

Uhm I thought this was a motorsport car? Isn't that what ///M means? Motorsport? Why in the world did they put launch control in the car?! If meth is such a problem, why does the GTS have water injection? |

Are you a Mechanical Engineer that can prove without a doubt to ALL of us here that what's happening to you will happen to anyone else? Are you also sure a S55 that's stock rated at 425 HP will be able to hit 700+ HP 680+ TQ safely WITHOUT any engine failure issues? Are you kidding me? Just because it's a M doesn't mean it's infallible. What about the poll posted that said about the failure rates and the person who had 3 made up for 50% of the vote? Shit fails, things break. Especially when you are adding extra things to a engine that doesn't designed to have them with it and push past it's limits.

That does not prove a design flaw or a major problem area.

I will respond when you start thinking with your brain.

lol 7 total break failures = to it will happen to everyone? Really?
Ok bro. Nice response. You still haven't proved anything. Until my SA, who happens to be on these very forums, tells me personally F8x are coming in with this problem, this will always be only you. The more defensive you get w/o any proof other then "It happened to me while I was OEM" means very little to anyone who can think for themselves. And also, very intelligent response believing I didn't read the thread. You haven't proven Boss's argument wrong yet.

We don't know what there situation was or if they were money shifted. Which, usually ends up being the issue on a stock car. The problem lies with the heavily modded cars it appears. FWIW, I was at a tech session at my local dealer recently. I asked one of the shop foreman who has been around BMW for a long time about this possible issue. He gave a confused "huh" look and had no idea about it. |

And for the record, don't forget that the reported ones that have broken share similar production time frames. They were from late 2014 and two were from 11/14 togather.
