What do you think we're looking at in terms of budgeting to keep this thing in tip top shape?

I've itched to hop into a pre-built turbo'd vehicle.

that is difficult to say. i would first find out who did the "fresh rebuild". there are a lot of well known brand name parts in that list, but not knowing who put it together can make it all meaningless.

with this build being so new, there could be more unforseen teething and breakdown problems ahead.

oh man. swapping out tires and ditching the run flats is one of the best mods to a 135i.

Is the 2009 model a good year for the N54 compared to 07-08 in terms of reliability..?

^ I think almost all 996s should be considered good buys. They are so dirt cheap for what performance you get. For $20K to $25K what else can you get with similar levels of performance, reliability, and durability. Believe it or not, at one time, 993 were dirt cheap.....
