so one of my unicorn just popped up and im checking it out this weekend.
can someone quickly school me on things to look for?
are they really as unreliable as people say?
are the refreshed engines in the 2011-2013 still plagued with the issues of the 2007-2010 ?
time chain failures
tensioner failures
coil pack issues
oil feed to turbo issues

N18 in this is much better but it’s not bulletproof. Some of the items you listed are much less severe - wear issue that might not hit instead of catastrophically bad.

Not a B48 mini but I think it’s reasonable.
