I think that is why, better to buy a Turbo BMW with extended warranty .. (or in general, BMW/BENZ)
BMW is great car, and very affordable in Canada, ( less then $1K/month! ) but they are not reliable as Porsche or Lexus.
Again, don't 100% trust on those forum, they just magnifying problem.. no matter from Toyota to BMW .. may by 1% of less car have problem ... (could be human fault too)
I didn't browse those forums as much as I use to, (Hey, I am just a father!) but I think N55 is less problem then N54 .. (but it is slower) and late N54 with extra oil cool .. seems better. (overheat in Canada? LOL, only problem here is FORZEN .. )
I will worry about little electric problem before engine problem from a BMW.
Again, you get what you pay, want to pay a less, and get "OK" performance/handling, and reasonable reliable, then whatever infiniti/acura/lexus will do the work .. if you want good handling/fun/upscale brand, and not spending much, get a BMW .. or Benz (not fun/handling, but their style is nice lately)
