When the NJ chapter did a tour of the Bayonne NJ VDC in March there was a 550 with it's engine out...

This apparently is not an M5 only issue.

Some saw it coming. On Wednesday I was talking to Matt Russell at O'fest and he mentioned they have had a few catastrophic failures on cars right out of the gate but they were putting it down to abuse and not following the run in quidelines, while still trying to determine the cause.

Looks like they found it.
