Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Necessary" data-source="post: 52991" data-attributes="member: 302">The S54 engine is notoriously over-stressed. Hence, the need for THREE engine recalls since it's inception in 2001. Although it IS designed to work at high RPMs (max power is produced only 100rpm shy of it's redline at 8000rpm), this is one highly, highly, stressed engine that is expected to last as long as the engine in your normal BMW. Hence, the need for a fair amount of mechanical sympathy.But don't you worry, do you really think I spend much time under 3000rpm in the M?OSF: I think it's alot more economical to invest the money in a go-kart and in the entry fees for the races...</blockquote>
