See, and for this issue with the N63, the higher mileage cars would be MORE susceptible to my way of thinking.
You need to understand BMW is replacing the parts that CAUSE the issue- but NOT repairing the damage due to this issue. In other words they are looking at timing chains, and if worn they replace them- but thats it. Nobody is looking at rings, sleeves, bearings, etc. Just fix the injectors, a few other parts that are not really wear items.....and give them back with a fresh coat of spray on wax and a gift from the accessory shop.
I would say that a higher mileage car which has the horrifically poor BMW service schedules will be more likely to have issues long term. Why do you think BMW has reduced the oil change interval? What damage did engines sustain during the first 30k, 50k, or 81k of their lives under the original BMW oil change intervals?
