In defense of the F30 328i, we leased one of the dealers loaners for two years as Kpro's company car. It's got x drive and the 8 speed auto. The engine is incredible and the trans is one of the best autos I've ever run We beat the living shit out of it every day. We did 16 runs at the local drag strip and that friggin thing is fast as hell. We put a Burger Tuning JB1 on it and ran consistent 13.4 runs. That's over a full second faster than the best time in my ZHP.
We did get a drive train malfunction a couple of weeks ago and that limited the boost but the error went away without taking it to the dealer. We'll get it there one of these days but it still has full power and we still beat the crap out of it..
We're not worried about reliability at all...
I think you just had some bad luck there. Let them fix it. I bet it will be fine. Most dealers will take care of you.
