One component of a car that will make or break a motor is the timing chain/belt. All BMWs have a timing chain versus a belt that MANY manufacturers are still using. I am pretty sure the Acura TSX has a T-belt. What's my point? A timing chain can last the lifetime of a motor, whereas a timing belt will need to be changed at 70000 miles.
