over the speed limit lugging in 6 gear doesn't mean you are working out the engine.. you have to run it really hot.. It has nothing to do with the turbos really...

I also don't think it is a fluke if you read other BMW boards they talk about the problem. The fact that it is a turbo seems to be a big factor. The fuel injection system was a big problem and BMW changing my fuel pump twice and injectors, I also recently had a problem with the value timing. The problems with the fuel injection system were so bad that BMW had a formal recall and extend the coverage on that system to 100,000 miles.

The car at 50,000 now runs better than new and shows no signs of age/wear, I have CPO coverage for another 4 years and love the car but it has required lots of repair.
