The good thing about it being a BMW is if it breaks your local BMW should have a nice fleet of loaner BMWs.

Remember loaners are at the discretion of the dealership and many have the policy that if you didn't buy from them, NO car is given at service or breakdowns. This is the PITA i deal with locally here in Delaware. For a used car they want about 5k over most other dealers and private party cars, so it's pay now or deal with it later.
I won't own one of these turbos out of warranty.
I've only gone through one hpfp and a few brake lights. My brother went through 2 sets of injectors, plugs, carbon buildup, coil packs, and 2 hpfps and his car still wasn't right (from 35k-50k). He sold it when the warranty expired and bought another one. Has about 5k miles on this one (25-30k miles) with no problems yet...
carbon build up, and injectors seem to be issues as you get up in miles, esp if tuned...
