    Judging by what I've read about owners with v8's, jclausen's right. What a shame that BMW can't build a reliable v8

    Not sure about the newer V8s, but the older ones, like in my 740iL below, used to run great until about 120-150k miles, then the big stuff started failing. Mine currently has 211k miles on it and I've had it apart about 3 times so far. I'm sure the turbos are doing bad things with the higher pressures in the cylinders.

    I would have loved to get a 4.8 XDrive X5, but I stuck with the 6 Cyl since it was my wifes car and did not need her complaining about it every few months.
