I was completely stock cruising on the freeway when it started to smell like burning and then eventually rod knock. Dealer suspected rod bearing failure. I'm pretty good with maintenance, so it confused me. Before I purchased the car, I saw how frequent their motors failed and thought it was due to bad driving/lack of maintenance. That belief proved me wrong. Lost confidence in the car and decided to sell it and get back in a BMW. One of the reasons being power is not easy with those cars. Anything reliable requires a built motor. Not really about wanting to build an entire motor.

Thanks! It was a great car. Perfectly optioned, literally with every option offered with a 6MT. Should have kept it longer, but that's part of my problem I guess T_T.
