Hmm, a friend with an 06 plate Z4M has also just had to have a new engine after 20k miles via BMW. The engine in this, at it's core, is the same as the CSL. :smt085

Isn't the engine pretty much a slightly tuned version of the M3 anyway, not much difference in it I thought... and those are proven engines running into the 100k's (and bloody loads of them). Failure rates pretty low for such a widely produced engine I would have thought.

Agreed lol

plus there is a 75k mile CSL for sale at the mo

was at a garage in Norwich today and they had a 20k mile engine with melted pistons:bigcry:

to many options = extra weight = too much load = bang

its the xenon's :hahaha:

Not really anything to worry about though is it. There are bound to be one or two failures. But with an engine produced in the 10's of thousands the risk is fairly low. Also, if you have warranty there's nothing to worry about at all. And if you don't, it is relatively low cost to rebuild an M3/CSL motor. Nothing that exotic about them.

There is also an 85K miles Black CSL floating about in Cambridge :thumbs:

And there is a 65k Black one doing the same around Bedford :smt045

Mine's on 58k.... hope she goes at least to 65k :thumbs:
