It would be interesting to know some percentages of failures, as there are a massive number of 320d:s out there. On the other, so are VW 2.0TDI:s and I haven't heard of turbo problems in those cars. VW driver profile is probably different from a BMW one though.

When buying the car I thought 45k is nothing so wasn't initially worried about the whine but it's gotten worse quite quickly. Big thanks to Williams Manchester for dealing with the problem promptly.
