I wouldn't call the n51 a curse. I test drive 6 128i's. 5 of them had leaky valve covers. The one I picked up was one of them but I knew about the warranty so I drove it straight to the dealership and they threw a couple thousand bucks of warranty work at the car for free. At the end of the day it's a nice car, has decwnt pep and I knew it was never going to be a 135i. I didn't want the trouble of the n54.
