Who wants to rebuild their engine every 50K as part of "routine maintenance"?

I really don’t think the Pal is stating or maintaining that this is ‘routine maintenance’. If you go up to the numerous E46 M3 boards, you will find a very large number of cars that have gone over 100K miles without having their rod bearings replaced. You do have to take into account the type of driving and conditions that his car has been seening.
