Thanks for the clarification. I am not averse to long distance touring, but nothing like a trip of 13,000 kms but in my case the car has to be essentially as original otherwise I would get a later model.
However to your question " what are known areas of parts breakage and frustration under normal touring?"
I can't think of anything on the 6th Series cars that I would rate as a weakness under normal touring. They are robust.
I have never heard of a broken axle but I guess it has happened. Everything on these cars tends to be over engineered and well made.
I thought of another issue. the Bijur lubrication system can be a problem. If any of the drippers become blocked that part will not be lubricated. Replacing the system with grease nipples is worthwhile.
