Turbocharging itself like your post indicates has been around for some time and I think its reasonable to assume BMW is able to pull this off without problems. Its not really a technically challenging thing in my view. Maybe add in direct injection and one becomes a tad more skeptical.
I think the design will be good but if there will problems it will be the quality of the parts they use and how they fit together. I don't get great feelings of the quality of the parts modern German cars use. Yah yah I don't have solid evidence although there have been some reliability surveys in which many German car manufacturers didn't come out high.
