Done around 15K in mine (already 10K up when I bought it). Only "major" issues have been the TV unit not working and the RS4 steering wheel badge coming loose!
My shocks weep a bit so there may be a DRC issue around the corner, but as that's covered for a while anyway, no worries. I've found the serving costs very reasonable . Only real downside is the way it drinks petrol!

And that's testament to the motor as you are running it in Desert heat :D
You bet. I have a picture somewhere with the DIS showing 50degC. Not to mention that this place is properly dusty/sandy!

Nice one, I saw your motor or the other Sprint blue last time I was in Dubai. Going out there again in a week or two.

Dubai is not for me to be honest, it's like the biggest contradiction ever, I like it to visit for a few days and enjoy the beaches and beer but other than that the traffic on Sheik Zayed road is manic now and there are too many expats!
