OK, after about 12 months and 10000 miles, she's dead in the driveway. She's at 80K.

Had a few funky starts, where if runs rough, goes into safety mode.
Restart, and all was fine.

Sunday it just ran terrible, blew smoke, limp mode, running on 3 cylinders.

UPDATE: Injector failed kept pumping fuel, in run around the block, hydro-locked the engine and bent connecting rod on cylinder #8.

New Engine time. Anyone want to buy a X5M cheap..?
