There will be unfortunately! I'd be seriously amazed if there was no issue. My E90 never had any problems with itself, but engine components failed which caused a large oil leak (about 30k-35k miles) and the glow plug control unit failed which caused poor running with higher emissions (incl. sulphur) , less fuel consumption and less response. So no biggie's, but faults none the less. My E60 had it's front right lower suspension arm fail (which I didn't notice until service!) and in its last two weeks of ownership, drive slip (but it wasn't the clutch) and I never did find out what that was.
328i? Hmm, maybe the spark plugs? I understand they need to be changed every 15,000 miles and the wants 19,000 until its first service for engine oil.
So fingers crossed, but I wouldn't look badly upon the car if it developed one or two minor faults in its lifetime.
