Great to hear!

The largest ticket item would be turbo replacement and if you keep the car stock and change your oil every 3-5,000 miles, they should be good for 100k miles.

Now the N63/S63 are probably the worst engines in regards to reliability that BMW has recently produced and that's why BMWNA had to offer the Customer Care Package (i.e., BMW voluntary recall).
Thanks, that makes me feel a bit better. Would you consider a JB4 Tune a factor to the turbo's health?
