F25 Reliability

Got my blackstone report in the other day.
Pretty happy to hear everything is looking fine! Especially at 102k miles
If you're curious:

I bought my wife's 2016 xdrive28i M Sport at 42,800 miles and since then (now almost at 50k miles) no issues although I'm starting to suspect the front left shock absorber is going out. It's making a noise when the wheel drops down on bumps.

I like the space and the car is perfect for city driving. I'll take that rather than my F10 when I know I have to drive in the city. The F10 is more highway cruising.

2016 X3 35i.
Purchased with 42k miles a year ago, currently at 52k. In that year the following has occurred:

Charge pipe exploded - Fixed with VRSF Charge pipe (forgot I also changed the Map sensor when this happened, or is it MAF? whichever one plugs into the top of the charge pipe)

Driver door hinge was loose making a noise when the door was opened - tightened with a T25.

Windshield Wiper fluid tank got clogged with the typical slime - Very hot water + Vinegar cleared it up, mostly.

Changed the oil twice, ditched the RFT and put on some DWS 06+'s.
