TBN TAN would've been interesting.

All is well if the filter wasn't sludged filled.

They did, because all the turbo engines were blowing up, especially the V8 ones(n63) with turbos inside. Even the I6(n54) Can barely make it 80K with 15K intervals.

I lurk tons of BMW forums, blogs and sites and i dont know how you came up with this conclusion.
Never heard of a turbo blowing up.

Must not have been paying attention, because BMW even started a "recall". Also not turbos blowing up, but drivetrain because of Turbos causing it to run much hotter destroying the oil sooner
