Funny you've mentioned the bearings... because weak rod bearings was a VERY known issue with the S54 engine found in the M3, Z3 M and M Coupe.
Like with the Toyobaru I know it's a LOT easier to drive hard and push the engine to its limits in a Miata than in the M Coupe... and that's a good thing!
I'm not able to drive my 1M at WOT often because I don't have enough skills and yet the car still goes sideways.
Anyway, Toyota is more reliable than Mazda I reckon!

No. It was only introduced this year...

In order to comply with the future Euro 6 emissions standard, Audi has for the first time developed a dual fuel injection system with FSI and MPI injection. The ability to freely select the injection mode means that particulate emissions can be reduced significantly across wide map ranges and consumption can also be cut.
