The N54 needs it every 60-75k, it starts running rough and misfired a touch at cold idle. It isn't something that will leave you on the side of the road, just a gradual performance degrade. Walnut blasting is $500. The N55 is less sensitive, and a much less maintenance needy option in general. 2011 on 135i is the way to go.
