In general, from the forums here though, I have never heard of catastrophic failures of any type with this engine. Reliability is on par or better than recent BMW 3s (their engine is an older model however), and is right out more reliable than Mercedes or Porsche (consumerreports).
Trim levels for both 3.2 and 2.0T were the same - Premium, Premium Plus & Prestige. Premium was bare bones, Premium Plus had significant extras, Prestige had lots of goodies. With Prestige early on you could get S-Line package (exterior & interior enhancements). MfqNgG8. 618 104 16 778 118 815 368 636
