If you dismissed the N57 because you think a NA diesel is good idea, then you would never be happy with an N57. It is not a the ideal candidate for someone seeking to hyper-mile. It is a good candidate if you have to cover a lot of ground effortlessly and feel at home between 90 and 120.

Spark plugs - 2 sets, 5 air filters, 12 oil changes, water pump & T-stat possibly, maybe an OFHG. The VCG and OPG are more age related IMO rather than mileage.
Oh, and a few VANOS cleanings.
Peanuts.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
