That said, I think you're nuts for "stretching the budget" to accommodate a 550i and thinking it's a good idea. Remember how much they sold for brand-new. Then consider if you can afford the maintenance on that sort of scale. There's a reason we keep recommending the I6 BMWs, less complexity throughout the car.
I was reading mixed results of this on the forums actually. I wasnt originally looking for v8s but some forum people were saying some of the 3.0 6's had their own issues too..6 in one..half dozen..
edit: mainly, i was trying to stay out of the 3-series. Ive ridden in a bunch, and they are literally too small for me. I carry around a bunch of guitars and shit, people to lunch, etc etc. I hate getting in and out of them.
