Or on the other extreme, it's Sunday and you're headed home from Disney World with 2 small kids and this happens in rural Georgia. It's an hour tow to the shop, but that's IF you can even find a tow truck to get out there. Did I mention that it's also summer and 95 degrees out? The tow truck will be there in 2 hours. Have a fun time waiting for it. Hope you don't overheat sitting there idling and the AC goes out.
And then there's just those who are plain busy. 50 hours at the office, another 10 commuting, family obligations, etc. Who wants to spend time heading to/from the shop, especially if it's not exactly close by?
The idea of a vehicle like this often appeals to those who venture further than the local starbucks and the mall. They might prefer the reliability of the non-turbo until BMW clearly fixes the HPFP issue for good.

It seems there is always a price for luxury over reliability besides the initial cost.
