At 42k I have had only one warranty issue, leaking oil lines.

I also have alot of oil consumption (BMW says 1.5l per 1k is acceptable)

No major issue but if you want to drive the car the way it meant t be driven and push her to the limit, since it's heavy you need to put some monies aside for brakes or to go with CCB. I replaced the the rotors/brakes 3 times in 3 years with the total 35k miles on the clock so basically every 10k.

Wow, that's heavy use.
Picked this motor up with just less than 5k mikes on it, I noticed you could feel the weight of car under heavy braking.Car is now at 10.3k miles and I drive is telling me pad change due in another 9k rear and 14k front, so is heavy on the CCBs pads as well.

Out of interest, how much do you reckon it's cost you in the disc and pad changes.

Roughly $2500 in parts alone.
The brakes are a major disappointment.
