Wonder how many failures are due to improper storage technique? Wonder how many are due to user error (driving after coolant all drained out or forgetting to replace oil drain plug or filling oil reservoir w/ coolant , etc.)? We need to know failure mode too.
I'll field this one, not nearly as many as went kafluey even after being babied, the M96 is not a well designed powerplant, period. Don't see that IMS anymore do we? Here's a stat for you, I wonder how many companies replaced engines and had a second failure in the same vehicle before 100,000 with documented service? That wasn't me but there were many stories like it. Sorry but I expected more than 32,000, M96 is a stain on the Marque, an embarrassment, a time bomb put into production without enough testing. Ironic considering Zuffenhausen considered the Boxster their "comeback kid", have to wonder how many will never buy a P car again becuase of the "kid"... you reading this German bean counters?
