Dear all,
I am on the verge of pulling the trigger for a S55 M3/M4 but am now slightly apprehensive on doing so.
When doing research on the reliability of the engine, I came across many forum posts by owners who have experienced a spun crank hub on their S55 engines, stock and modified. It seems to be an inherent design flaw of the engine.

Can I ask if anyone has heard of or come across this issue locally? If so what was the fix? Has anyone else experienced any other issues with their S55 engine? Thanks in advance!
