In regards to turbo failures, most of the "failures" I have noticed on the forums were not the actual turbos, but rather the wastegate mechanism, which I hope BMW resolved with the beefier Wastegate actuators and rods.
I think I have only seen 1 or 2 failures where the turbines failed, and I think they were due to running too high of boost.
Even the tuners Shiv and Terry have not destroyed a set of turbos and you know they beat the crap out their motors when compared to the majority of BMW owners. All things considered I think these cars are pretty decent when keeping performance in mind.
Finally we need to keep in mind, when we see postings of problematic cars on the forums we have to realize this is a minority of all BMW owners.
This is coming from 335i owner that has had my fair share of component failures, but I attribute this partly to the fact I have an earlier build N54, all the replacement parts I have in my car now are of newer updated part numbers.
