Nice ....gonna look into the sport model ...

So far it seems a lot more of electronics and comfort is involved when compared to the e90

Known Issue:

1) Door locks stick after some time, may require change out by the firm.
2) Door squeaks if the seal isn't lubricated - firms always wants to change this, just some wax on the felt will be fine.
3) N16 engine o-rings on the Turbo cooling lines fail, - replaced by dealer with a different P/N to prevent same from happening again.

Other than that.. 93 k KMS so far and good as gold...

Also have an F30 doing around 45k kms. UK import. Works well so far. Changed coil packs and plugs recently. Found the car gives me a bad morning start. Takes about 45secs to warm up and idle smoothly on morning start. Works well after that. Coil packs and plugs did not rectify the issue.
