Turbo issues, not engine.
Friend of mine had a 335 - turbos went bad at 110k. His mechanic said they all do. He bought it CPO and he had a warranty, so it cost him a couple of hundred instead of a couple of k. He still has the car with over 160k on it now.
So it’s an anecdotal response. But still a data point.
