High pressure fuel pumps, rattly wastegates, water pumps, injectors, coils etc.
They also run hot. Unless you want to invest in lots of coolers keep the power level pretty mild or it will go into limp mode on track.
DCTs are a good thing and usually pretty stout unless they car has been using a piggy back or bad tune. If the gearbox doesn't get accurate torque figures the clutches can slip.

Decided against a N54, the general rule seems to be that not much after 100km they start shitting turbos, water pump, injectors, fuel pump, plastic valve cover and vital plastic cooling bits, all with the BMW $ tax. I already have a tempramental track car.
No hurry, plenty of other choices but only the Audi Quattro has DCT?.One of the late model sports auto's may do so then MB, Lexus, Alfa will be checked out.

Damn I was thinking of getting one of these at some stage as they seem like really good value for the $$$ guess there is a reason why.
Seen some for under 15k but high k's nearly 200000km and auto.
I'd want a manual and seems to be a rare thing, these seem to go for around 20k probably for a high km example.
Besides the engine, is the rest of the car up to scratch?
