There is also a thread of an S65 owner with 100K street miles and I think one or two paris of his bearings were down to the copper (I think) layer.

They have and hence switched to turbo motors that rev a lot lower. They of course have their own set of problems with carbon build up on valves, valvetronic noises, fuel pumps etc. I think high performance and strained engines just have weak points which get exposed sooner when regularly driven to their limits and beyond.
