But, the majority (just not a vast majority) of engines do not experience these problems. Still, they cannot be ignored. If you're buying one of these cars, you need to be prepared that any of these issues may occur. The leading candidate remains RMS failure, and it still plagues the M96 engine today in all it itinerations. No year is more/less immune, it's a design failure which the various newly designed seals can only Band-Aid. Hope this helps...

Ugg... thanks for the info, Jim. I can't believe I am going to take a gamble on this engine; I love the car, I just hope I don't worry myself to death after I get one!
