Probably cylinder #2 failure. That seems to be the common failure on the first gen B58. Injector fails and wipes out the cylinder wall. Not sure why specifically cylinder #2.

In just about 4 years on the market this is the only instance I have seen of this. Maybe there are a few but not significant

I managed to break a spark plug on my 340i M Perf Ed. Repalced under warranty, motor didn't blow.

Wonder if that car pictured is the actual one to fail? The pictured one was a press car...
