The turbocharged engine in the current Z is horribly complex and a potential disaster

Yikes, that's brutal. Happy to hear it was covered. I had an E83 X3 that had a failed front driveshaft which was pricey, and the transfer case had to be replaced by the previous owner. I hear it's a common thing on X-drives. The first gen X1 was a disaster from what I've read, rod bearing issues and so on. I hope the newer engines age well because I would love a 230i M-sport down the road. I think they've done a great job with the feel of the four-cylinder overall.
