It's a known issue, even in SMG models where over revving is not permitted. BMW have been replacing the engines under warranty. They normally go around the 8,000 kms mark.

Last time I checked a M3 forum, there were 23 x S54 engines on back order from BMW NA.
That just ain't good... I think I'll stick with the S52's for the meantime then...
