N20 Experience

Does anyone actually have a high mileage N20/N26? I've been asking around and I can't seem to find anyone that's at 100k miles or more (that's 161,000 kilometers for those using the metric system).

I keep hearing that the N20/N26 is a time bomb ready to fail me as the miles go up so I feel like I'm at a decision point. Currently at just under 78k miles on my 2016 N26. It's been flawless so far, but I'm preparing for retirement in few years and can't really afford a major engine issue.

And the prices for doing the timing chain guide and turbo seem to be all over the map, but expensive no matter what.

So is the N20/N26 really that bad? I sure do love driving this thing.
