No, it wasn't. Yes, it's used on Supra, but BMW would not let Toyota engineers anywhere near.

My wife’s ‘08 is250 Lexus costs more then that.
I’ll look up my last oil change since we use the same place.
Labor is $90 btw. But you don't have to use a dealer and it's an easy DIY.
Is bmw substantially better than others on those fronts? Ime, the car makes a difference in feel but the weak link in handling on almost every vehicle is tires and few people are running the best handling rubber. I'll put my money on an econobox on ps4s over a bmw on all seasons in most handling tests. Sure, it will wallow like a pig and feel bad but it should have a better time/higher speed.
Long before the current supra came out, the 35i N54/55 motors were referred to as the new 2jz's in the aftermarket scene etc...
Makes you wonder if Toyota got wind of it and decided to run with it?
If all else fails a busted BMW inline 6 makes a great wine rack/end table... Did this one a quite a few years ago, lots of "mileage" on it now....
How often do to replace all liquids in that engine?
There would have been bonus points if bottles were phased properly. That engine has a broken crank.

I bought a pristine CPO 328 xDrive GT from Budds with 60k km with 3 year full warranty (paid extra 3k for that). It has 80k on it now,No issues so far, service cost surprisingly same as my Odyssey. But that's juts regular oil and filter change. I wouldn't buy a European car from private party.

That's a new one. Haven't heard that one before.
Too often!How often do to replace all liquids in that engine?
I don't think you can do any harm by always running on fresh lubricants or coolants.
The problem is after a hard night, it could be running on empty. No fluids causes more damage.
Went to check out a BMW 135 M-Sport once (N55(?) motor not the troublesome N54(?)). It was that sexy blue, low mileage, and in fairly good shape. Price was OK also (16k).
Drove great, and everything checked out.
'Low engine oil'. 'Replace immediately'.
'How long has that light been on?'
'Not sure, about 3-4 months'.
'Why haven't you replaced it?'
'I'll let the buyer deal with it. No need to do an oil change if I'm selling it right?'
I still regret letting that thing get away...but I was too scared of going down that rabbit hole.
If he was confident of no issues I would have paid for an inspection under the agreement that your money is returned if it was in fact going to be a problem. Otherwise it was non refundable deposit towards purchase.
Finding ways to find sellers who are serious to sell is not too difficult.
