Seems so expensive.
From my research, only weak points seem to be the crank hub thing and the DCT transmission's longevity is largely an unknown. On the fence as to whether or not I'm going to get a warranty.

IMO the DCT would be pretty much bullet proof if BMW didnt push this "Lifetime fluid" bullshit. Their DCT fluid isnt some magical space stuff thats self cleaning, impervious to oxidation and shearing etc....
I even spoke with a rep at ZF and they said to change it every 30k miles. |
Everytime someone sends a sample to Blackstone they say the fluid looks good.
