Prior to this "incident" I heard that this type of vehicules had this very problem, BMW is suppossed to have corrected this in the cars from 2005 on. My car is a 2002 model with a 3.0 diesel in line-six, I don't know if I menctioned it before. The car has only 64K miles.

Anyway, I was merly doing 3000 rpm's and it blew, just like that, a couple miles before I just heard little noise, but nothing that could lead me to believe what was gonna hapen later.

I posted it because I heard that many of these failed and wanted to know if it's true and what other people have done with it.
