B9 S5

Hi guys. First post!!
Currently looking at buying a 2017 B9 S5 3.0V6 Turbo.
Are there any common problems to look out for and what options would be best to look for?
Currently driving a 430d gran coupe and it's time for a change!

I recently learned that there was a design change in that 3.0 TSFI to address a risk of cam follower failure. I don't know the details so you'd need to research it.

Only info I can find on the cam follower issue is on the 3.0 supercharged. Seems to be very little info on the 3.0 turbo at all

Purchase made, not an S5 but something just as quick.
