Have a 328GT with the N20 engine, no problems so far at 25,000 miles and 4.5 years out, have the extended warranty letter so good up to 70,000 miles and another 3 years. An option looking into is to just get the timing assembly changed now so we don't have to worry about it, for around $3,000 by our independent shop. Versus waiting for a failure like on a long trip or selling the car early and losing more money than we'd have to normally for us (we own the car outright loan paid off).

Our dealer is also offering to sell us a replacement car or a similar car like an X1 for what they consider to be a good price, with trading in our current car, but I'm not hopeful that these terms will end up being advantageous financially though it would be nice to get any worries about the engine behind us.

I have a X3 35i and am not worried, this is my wife's car and don't want her stranded somewhere.
