Looks like they're heading way down on the depreciation curve. I don't know much about them though. Still have cooling system issues? What else to look out for?

Timely question: I was just going to ask the same thing. They are certainly complex (water cooled alternator, for example), but are they as well supported as the e39 and e38 as far as DIYers and forums?

Issues that a friend has seen on his E60 550i

  • i-Drive crapping out
  • Alternator issues
  • Active suspension swap bars replacement $$$$
  • 19" wheels are crack/bend prone (tiny sidewall for stock tires)
  • Mysterious oil leak (hard to detect due to flat bottom under tray)

But they are deceptively quick
