i wonder if having aftermarket pullies would cause the berings to fail? so far I have only read people with Mods that have this problem. maybe I'm wrong

that could be true...

but I have searched the E55 forums.. and some members had their entire clutch replaced as well, due to the bearings.

So.. i think it is just a common problem for any kompressor engine...

the percentages above are real representation of the reliability of these cars.

it is not that bad, but definately not lexus quality.
