Im happy that you got a new engine, but statements like these concern me. Arent rotories suppose to last longer than 50k miles? I always thought it was more like 200k miles.

How many people are going to post that their cars are still running? The initial tunes of the 8 did not run the engine properly. I'm sure if you checked enough Bentley's, you'd find one that loses it's first engine early. Compared to other car forums, I don't really see a lot of blown engine threads here.

Don't say that, man! Haven't you read the "Wish Gone Bad" thread in the lounge? If you say you want a new engine, you'll get it......three times in the course of a year.....keeping the 8 tied up at the dealer for the entire summer....

Don't ask me how I know.
