2011 328i long term prospects?

[marcva]

I'm looking at a 2011 328i as a third car for my up and coming drivers. I'm very comfortable taking care of the older i6 cars, but the thought of a turbo 4 bothers me. How stable and maintainable are the newer turbo motors. I assume the other bits are pretty standard bmw fare...

Thanks.

This is NOT a turbo engined car; it is a three liter N52, normally aspirated, and it's an excellent engine. A year or two later, the 328i begins referring to a 4 cylinder car, and I advise against this one. (For the sedan, 2012 was the changeover; for the coupe, I think 2014) E9X body has 328i as a N52)
