The car, since my ownership from Sept 12 to now, 6 months and 1K miles, has been trouble free. I am very particular espicially with this level of sophistication in this Z. Before my puchase i had the dealer put brand new Bridgestorne RFT's on it, i told them I did not like the condition of the rotors, so again, Before I purchased it I requested that BMW inspect it and they did replace the F brakes under warranty. A the time of the F brake replacement i asked the BMW dealer to inspect the car which they did and it proved un eventful with no service recommendations. It is now due for oil change service and I am going to again have them inspect it top to bottom even if I have to pay foe 1-2 service hours, along with the battery cable recall. My only fear is the potential failure of the 14k DCT trans or the turbo system or something expensive well above the $2K warranty premium. Unlikely as an N54 engine and DCT trans failure may be, as they are in service Throughout the 3 and some 5 series and has has good service record behind it, a failure out of warranty would be difficult to over come.
