I dunno about that, they said it was fixed at some point (but issued several TSBs and changes in production over a period of time) and not only did the engine in the 02 my SO had fail people continued reporting issues with engines long after in M3s and ZM cars on various forums.

M3 is definately a sweet ride. You've had your Mini for a while, if you get tired of the M3 we'll be happy to welcome you back I'm sure. Good Luck.
