Can you provide more details on the motors? How many miles? Was it tuned, driven hard etc before the motor was blown?

The G32 thread doesn't see a lot of activity but the motor is shared across multiple platforms. Perhaps you might have better luck posting on the other platforms. Also Bimmerfest has a slightly more active G32 base so perhaps asking the question there would help.

The original motor had 41K miles on it. It was not tuned, I brought the car used, so I'm unsure whether or not it was driven hard or not.

I get that this platform doesn't get as many views, I will get on Bimmerfest and see how the post does. thanks for the advice.

That's very odd, perhaps it was abuse and neglect from prior owners. There is also a Facebook group for G32 owners. Definitely more responsive than both forums.
