Only on the m54b30, the OPN will fall off or oil pump sprocket will shear off, under high rpms due to the harmonic vibrations.

Result is that I have to get a modified oil pump and water pump, both of which can still fail, ATI harmonic damper (which is the only solution and sold by VAC so they're charging ridiculous prices).

Pretty sure I'm forgetting something, but that's what's on the top of my head.

So much regret, kind of, not really. But most of the nightmare is over - for now. Learned lots about fixing cars tho. Did sparkplugs on my friend's em1 and that was ezzzzz

Of course, the one car that can replace this car is an e46 m3
