Initially compenents started to give up starting with the fuel pump then (about a month apart for each or 7-8k) small turbo, ERG valve, main turbo, alternator, rear suspention bush failure (drivers side) and cracked exhaust manifold. All a real pain but the biggest issue started with coolant use and after three monnths of back and forward to dealers resulted in the diagnosis of a cracked head and block so BMW put in a new engine and the last 30K had no further issues. All through the ownership the services were carried out as per the schedule no mods or special treatment. Despite the last year of regular breakdowns still a great car, fun to drive and 42mpg(euro).
