Re: Blown engine - BMW M3 (E46 M3) Message Board & Forum

Sorry to hear that. My engine went too last week. It was NOT due to over revving though according to the black box. I wouldn't post my VIN # either so don't expect any of these guys to believe your story. I do. Hope everything works out. I myself am going to buy a C32, haven't heard of any MB engine failures. The C32 is better anyway.
