I wonder the same thing though I'm starting to think the really high mileage M96 motors with no issues are more of the exception than the rule? I think there's enough enough evidence out there that the M96 motors are more prone to some of these issues that we would all say is ideal. There has to be a percentage of them out there that don't have any issues though wouldn't there?
I have a friend that blew up his Lexus IS350 motor earlier this summer with only 25,000 miles on it. Lexus was so shocked they shipped the motor off to Japan for autopsy......it certainly seemed to be the exception for one of their motors which normally will run 200/300k+ miles without issue if well taken care of. It does happen though.
Sadly it seems like the M96 cars are on the wrong side of the exceptions right now.
