Both cars on original smg pumps , only problem I've had on smg was snapped compression spring behind knock in plug on gearbox, throwing up cog light, gps switch trying to find what problem was, but for sure was the spring .. I've replaced usual wear and tear parts. and recalls , BMW fitted a new diff foc late 05 never said why just did it ! At About 55-60k miles Boot floor replaced foc "had only slight cracks " no engine issues, touch wood..... Lee's car from memory boot floor foc similar mileage but two or three years earlier, new engine about 100k Paid for himself. As old motor spun a shell about 70k , old motor also had new head fitted slightly earlier, think he had to contribute to cost . Also boot floor repaired again by BMW , think wear tear relevant to mileage on most of things, Mabe he's unlucky with motor but does rag it
