Just because it's normal doesn't mean it's OK. Sure, gone for the most part are the days of car manufacturers making cars that are ultra reliable...because that hurts their bottom line. The S63 uses the exact same injectors as the N54, so actually yes it is suffering the same level of injector failures. The S63TU uses different injectors, granted there are FAR more vehicles using the N54/S63 injectors vs the S63TU injectors, but if the S63TU injectors are still suffering the same fate, then it's still an issue as a whole and in the OP's case that also means it's likely to happen again. You referenced tire companies...it took some deaths and. video before Firestone finally admitted fault...did they only replace the blown tires or admit they screwed up and replaced them all? I don't know of any deaths, but BMW has admitted faults on the N63 engines as a whole, N54 and S63 injectors (I'm sure other platforms used them as well), so now they need to admit the S63TU as well. OP's engine bent a rod due to his injectors failing, so for them to not replace those same other worn injectors on an engine they still have to warranty is placing with fire...replacing the remaining injectors is far cheaper than another engine failure, but that's their choice to take that risk.

BMW is doing a fine job on their own of devaluing our investments on their own, they surely don't need our help That's also why I'll NEVER buy a BMW brand new...give 99% of BMW's about 5 years and it's easily dropped 2/3 of it's "value" because they're not reliable and overpriced. With that said, I've been owning them ritually since 99 so I guess the jokes on me lol.
