I had two M3s, a E36 (Euro model, so 3.2L 321 hp) and a E46 (3.2L 343 hp), never had whatsoever problem with them. I am curious to know what made those two engines kick the bucket...
The now famous cyl #6 rod bearing starvation issue. This was extremely well covered up in late 01 however. My car was picked up and "covered" on the flat bed for its trip to the dealer. Upon arrival it was quickly whisked away so no one would see it. I was going approx 5 MPh in a parking lot when she blew. New engine installed and it did a F1 style flame out at speed the second time at 80 MPH.
Do you live in Europe ? how did your S54 throw out 343 HP ?
