*HPFP(high pressure fuel pump) covered under BMW"s extended warranty 10 years/120K but only up to 2010 models.
*electric water pumps failing at low miles('08 & '09's ~50K miles) later model years seem to go ~80K) still its $500 in parts.
*turbochargers leaking oil or wastegate rattling. also covered under a extended warranty.

Don't be put off by these items, bc every car has its "known" problems.
Thanks for the great info Dackel, you must be well valued around these forums.
