I'd like to know as well. I figured it was a gamble anyway, this being only the 2nd year BMW made a hybrid, but the technology has been there for a long time, so was hopeful it isn't too bad. Wondering if there's any scheduled maintenance that I need to worry about after 50k miles. If so, I might get the maintenance program upgrade.
