How reliable are X5 XDrive35i w/ N55 Engines? Worth keeping beyond 60k miles?

If you have 30k, 60k, 90k or over 120,000 miles on your XDrive 35i X5 with the N55 single-turbo straight-6 engine (2011, 2012, 2013), share your stories on its reliability.
Knowing we all have different driving styles and some cars are Daily Drivers and some are Garage Queens (or a combination of). This should be however, a good reference for each and every one of us as we approach those milestones.

Mine is a CPO, so don't care frankly. However, owning it beyond that? Not sure.

Diesel seems to be the ones you don't want to own long term

My dad had a 2008 diesel and he put 105K miles in four years on it with only one major issue.

There is post after post. Diesels having carbon build up, and other
emission related expenses. So if someone is a gambler, give it a shot.

All it takes with a BMW one major repair and can be out thousands
