[QUOTE="ALBundy, post: 181728, member: 15"] Never heard of anything like that so far, except happy owners :) I think BMW has tested the engine extensively, in the desert and such. To manufacture this block, a new whole production process is employed. The only thing could be the quality control when the block is casted. As we know, magnesium as a metal is brittle, perhaps even with the inclusion of some other metals, its still brittle and prone to cracks?? [/QUOTE]
