I'm at 67k on my N54, no fuel pump, turbo, or rough idle issues yet... guess I should be prepared for it though.

I've noticed my clutch is starting to get just a teeny tiny bit "crunchy" for lack of a better term on slow engagement/disengagement though. Hasn't caused any drivability issues yet. Not sure what that is. Maybe a bearing.
