IMO, the most reliable modern BMW engine is probably the N52.

I disagree. First of all BMW recommends a 1200 mile break in period, not 3000 miles. Surely the parts will be well seated by then. Second, modern turbocharged engines are highly reliable. The proof is turbocharged diesel engines that routinely last 100's of 1000's of miles. |
don't forget turbos on diesels run cooler and at a lower rpm vs gas.
