If read just that one single thread, there are a lot of engines with similar issues on a lower production runs than the E46M3 => https://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1461006 |
I know that there's quite a few rod bearings that have been changed out on S54s, but what no one knows is how the engines have been treated. The S54 seem to bring out the worst in people. I've decided to revert back to an oil weight that the bearing clearance in the S54 calls for so I'm using Motul 300V 10W-40.
