You may have misunderstood me. New models do go through rigorous testing in order to uncover design flaws. While we don't know all the details of this issue yet, it sounds like it may be a manufacturing problem which affected a certain batch of oil pumps. That's not something you would run into while testing if the oil pumps in the test cars did not have the manufacturing problem. If it was a design flaw with the oil pump itself, wouldn't we hear about recalls for all production F10 M5's and F12/F13 M6's?
