I was the first person at the dealership to fix the leaking rear main on the E90's magnesium block. I think the leak showed up right around 1000 miles. Apparently the rubber seal that works on an aluminium block doesn't work on a magnesium block. They had Wurth come up with a special type of RTV as well. My favorite part was all the warnings throughout the instructions, HAND TOOLS ONLY!
Yet another reason not to buy the first model year...
