I was heavily considering a V8 M3 for my wife. I know each car has its issues and could understand the throttle actuators and some pesky parts, but I drew the line when I found out the rod bearings are a common point of failure. Too tight of clearance mixed with 10w60 oil may be the issue, but I think BMW should have certainly figured that out before production (with their reputation). On one hand I’m tempted to pick one up cheap and swap the bearings by dropping the k member and oil pan, but then I’m left worried about other “german car expenses.”
