I wonder how often this worst case scenario occurs?...worst case scenarios are typically a low probability occurrence. However, is it too soon to assume this?.. I wonder, will we see in the future that this is not a worst case (with a low probability) but instead a problem that takes time to evolve?? ...Keep your warranty...too much thinking need a beer.

Although I did see one 2011 E90 with 38k miles at COTA have a really weird knocking noise but it sounded like it came from the top end. Not sure what came of it. I did use M1 0W-40 over the winter and did not rev the car much past 5k rpm. $26 for 5qts at Walmart. WIN! Going back to Castrol 10W-60 for the summer in 2 weeks...only if winter would ever f'ing end!

There is much more fertile ground on the forum for your nit picking expertise than following me around in every thread just so you can repeat yourself. Might I suggest you follow some of the tuners who claim great expertise. Look into some of their posts and see if you find them as vacuous and lacking technical accuracy as I do. I look forward to your posts to correct their "plethora of errors." BTW, anybody who has to repeatedly point out how important they are and talk about how many thanks they get "behind the scenes..." is neither important nor getting a fraction of the thanks as they would lead everybody to believe. |

I always ask as well and hear the same thing. He s65 is the most reliable and no bearing issues. I think it's an overblown issue on the forums as we seeing the small % of cars that have forced induction and are pushed very hard.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. You too could stop repeating the same old speculation on post after post... I'm interested in potential problems in our (my) car as much as the next guy. If you think I "follow you around" online, you've got more of an ego problem than you accuse me of. It's really simple. You make bold claims and make them sounds like they have a shred of proof when they don't. Thus I feel many of your posts can use some clarification. If you don't want to hear from me (or for some strange reason don't want others to) use more clear and accurate language and qualify your positions. Call it nitpciking if you like, I'm also highly interested in the truth. As to interest in debating vendors, I do some of that as well. However, folks know a bit better when dealing with them that there is inherently a significant amount of advertisement. I'd be happy to PM you many "thank you" messages I have received on this bearing topic. It does mean my point of view makes sense and is even occasionally compelling enough to warrant such messages. I know you too have received thanks for your investigation, spending, time and attention to detail on the subject. Neither effort is more or less important.

Sorry buddy but the real troll here is the one making such nonsense accusations. Lay off the ridiculous ad hominems.

The real irony is when you said at the end: "I too think it is a reasonable explanation." So in this case, I made a huge bold claim without a shred of proof...yet you agree with it anyways...and want to argue about it all at the same time. Last edited by regular guy; 04-20-2014 at 12:33 AM.. |

There isn't much irony here. You describe a situation using strong language that makes it sound very much like a theory supported by observation (even using specific (yet completely arbitrary) data like a mileage range). I claim it is a reasonable hypothesis, but still unsupported by any data whatsoever. By the way I was not offering sharing of anything that would violate the inherent privacy of a PM. It should be painfully obvious that this is possible.
