The problem is that we have no official data to go on. Even the issues with the first Boxster engines was kept very quiet until the news got out on forums such as this.

It is also true that later models have engines crater on them. My neighbors 04 Box blew with 12K on the odometer and several have been reported here. To be fair, in the case of my neighbor, they had a new engine in there in 5 days.

Having said that, I have no BMW data to relate for you either.

Hope my BMW 328I holds up!!!!!!!!!!
