ouch that def hurts

 

What a way to damage the ride , hope he learn how race, and get the car fixed asap.

 

should be covered under the 100k mile warranty if im not mistaken

 

Great triumph but those cars are just so slow period!

 

Those are sad pictures. I'm not sure if a warranty will cover that because it was obviously the drivers fault unless they can prove the car manfunctioned lol

 

Why do u say it is drivers fault? It is impossible to overrew with stock cpu...so what else, can be done wrong by driver, that could blow an engine?

 

If it's manual (as in stick-shift), how can u not over-rev, especially IF you misshift?

Well maybe the BMW manuals are different...

 

if you mean that, it is very easy to put lower gear in a drag race, then it yes, you could say that, but from my experience, it is more likely to misshift in track, than in drag race..

Another thing is, that luckily this time it was all filmed from inside, so it is seen that there was no missshifting...it just started to loose power at 3 gear and cloud of smoke apeared...after how it looks, u see in pics...

it is interesting, if it is just a coinsidence, or "m" engines are not realible...

 

little more..

 

udate from BMW dealer: Piston "went" out. Why? Still no answer.

P.S. this M3 is with expired warranty, because of its age, that is 4 years now. But there is hope, that not modified engine, that is beeing taken care of (and it is know for BMW dealership), should not have this kind of engine blow..

 

And thats why I wont own a BMW product.

 

and that is why, I will buy additional warranty, for my F, that is ending in 2 weeks don't want to end like this...u never know, what can happen to F either..

 

Can you elaborate more on how "those cars are just so slow"?

 

Glad to hear that the engine is being repaired. The pistons and rods shouldn't fail in any car.
