Thumbs down My 2012 135i M-Sport Build Date 7/2011

My car has had numerous problems:

Battery cable replaced
Bolts holding camshaft gears replaced
Transmission leaking, side cover gasket replaced
Transmission needed to be reprogrammed
Bad injector replaced
Water pump replaced
OFHG replaced
Valve cover gasket replaced
Air bag replaced
Pipe from turbo to intercooler replaced.
I'm on my second battery.
Driver's door seal replaced.

Currently the turbo seems a bit noisy. It sounds like a whining noise. It also might be the belt tensioner going bad?

I'm only shy a couple hundred miles of 50K. I don't know, but this seems to me a lot of repairs for any car.

I'll replace the tensioner myself! Stuff seems to wear out fast on my car. Maybe it was built on a Friday or is it a Monday?
