Past that I can't think of anything else. These newer F series N55 cars are pretty reliable. The only major repair I had was my wastegate going bad but it was covered under warranty.
If a car is purely stock, no engine mods, tune, and etc.. are the common failure mentioned above still an issue. Also, did BMW find out why the wastegate was going bad?
