WTH?! Consumer Reports blasts X3 35i in latest survey

Consumer Reports just came out with their annual Reliability Survey and they rated the 6 cylinder turbo poorly. Or at least they did not give it their "Recommended" stamp of approval.
I have one and I don't get it.The car has been great and trouble free. Ironically, it is also the highest rated Sporty SUV of the bunch. I agree with that.

Yeah, I know CR is sometimes a dubious reviewer of anything design or performance related but Im just thinking about resale value.

Attached is a chart that shows non specific major engine issues with this model yet I've been on this forum since the beginning, before the car even was released and I haven't read about any engine related issues from any owner.

I'm going to call them and see what's up.

Meanwhile, I'll ask:
Has anybody had engine issues with the 35i in the US?
