i also had inlet manifold failure at 60000 miles, it also killed the turbo and the cat,the car was repaire at a cost of £3500 + £250 to have the ecu remaped to rid the hesitation at 2000 revs any gear.
thats the downside, the upside is i now have an excellent vehicle with 183 bhp and an average fuel economy 0f 68mpg driving round in 4th gear.
would i buy another bmw NO only because bmw uk and gmbh did not want to know.
if you are considering buying one good look and beware?
