Jason you were correct! Catastrophic Engine Damage - BMW M3 (E46 M3) Message Board & Forum

Took my 2002 SMG Coupe November 01 build because of a strange noise. Dealer asked me to leave the car. Got the call today, they dropped the pan and sure enough Rod Bearing (something) basically said I need a new motor. Told me motor would be sent from M division directly not off the production line. First my 01 coupe messed up diff. Now the bs with this car all in the course of 12 months. I have lost my patience with the M3.
