My old Toyota was rediculous for parts from the main dealer, much worse than BMW but like any car you can get parts from any normal parts supplier.
My brother had a 9. Mash the accelerator and nothing...nothing...nothing...everything all at once and by God that's quick. Not the most flexible motor, as small bore very high output turbos tend not to be, needs keeping in in the powerband if you're going for it, and makes forward observation and planning essential. The good news is that makes them very docile for daily use.
