I have two E9x with 180 and 220k miles on them, and hardly any problems other than the typical oil leaks. Got the '11 specifically for the I6 in it, but really questioning how well it was maintained (purchased from dealer, no records). Hopefully this will shake out the bugs and let me get it up to the 200k mile range I keep cars till!
The hits keep coming... the 5er is running like a top, but I'm now getting codes for alternator, water pump, oil sensor, DME, and BSD. Basically the whole BSD circuit is effed. Such a great car, but man, at some point it's sunk-cost fallacy coming in to play!
