Colin,

Justmy view on this one, Turbo's are a maint. item.

Fact, its going to cost you less to do a turbo at a dealership them what it would to do a clutch and flywheel..

They break, you replace them, and move on...

The 4 cyl BMW's I have a problem with, specially the diesels, but the 6 cyl's rock so hard

i hate turbos

And, turbos are now with us if we like them or not, in terms of BMW's current line-up of motors. So turbo reliability and replacement prices would have to be better, otherwise lots of tears indeed! :thumbs:

And there is always the slight turbo lag, despite the technology getting better.
Will wait and see how many recalls there will be for turbo issues ...
