It’s only known issue is a small incidence of cam chain related matters in pre 2015 versions..
The main downside of the N52 in the 30i is just age..they are older cars..
Having said that a friend of mine has a 23i with the same N52 design and he’s just passed 140k miles on a 2009 version…it still seems very healthy…wear and tear have resulted in fresh dampers, springs, discs etc

Understood, especially rubbers will likely start to wear out at the age even if not driven much. I've found quite a few 09-11 N52s with 30k-60k miles
