My wife has an M40i....the B58 is a great engine (so far).
I like the N20...again its very well designed....but like many BMW's these days (perhaps manufacturers in general)....stuffed full of likely chinese plastic....
If this was part of a quest to save fuel, then it came at a great cost, to their reputation and bottom line....and in particular the customers, who bought models, unknowingly, filled with all this junk (in this case, the guiides or perhaps even the chain itelf).
We havent been affected (Yet)...don't drive eco, don't tune, and over maintain...buts thats no solice here.....and its not just X3s.
