    Default A (hopefully) slightly different Nikasil question

    Does anyone know of any stats as to the percentage of Nikasil M60s that actually had problems and the percentage that are just fine (like mine and several others in this forum)?

    Default As far as i know bmw has never released those statistics and

    I can understand why it would not be to their advantage to do so.

    Jeff, you forgot to correct for the shorter day resulting from December's Tsunami...

    I think it's closer to 72.6378%.



    Actually Drice, Bill's bang on...BMW would definitely prefer that nobody even remembered the Nikasil problem...well MB and Jaguar as well. The problem in the mid-90's was not limited to BMW.

    You're both wrong, its "5". Not percent... just "5" in general.
