turbo trouble

Apparently they found broken actuator rod in one of the turbos & they'll replace the turbos.
Sidelined for parts from back east. big job to repair when it gets here.
Out of commission for at least 2-3 days.
Maybe turbo engines are too complicated, should look @NA engines next time.
How does it break @30,000 kms, when I don't take it to the track & just drive 80% city 20% interurban??
Is it worth keeping the car when it's out of warranty? or buy xtended?
Something for all owners to think about.
Will report back on Sat. or next Monday, if they get it fixed.

Not enjoying my x3 loaner without Active Steering & Autohold magnetic brake, & running boards for stepping on for ingress/egress, idrive for bluetooth phone & ipod & PDC.
Amazing how all these options make driving the car so much more enjoyable !
