IMNSHO, the issues the n54 have are nothing, the engine is bulletproof, all the issues you mentioned are just peripherals, annoying yes, likely to have catastrophic result like engine failure, no! |
3 out of the 5 had all the failures I mentioned...and as u say, I baby them, don't race them, yet I had all them extremely annoying issues...all I can say is thank God..all issues were under warranty
Bottom line is, you tell the guy to buy it .. what if , 3 minutes on the highway (mr.limp mode) shows his face? He's better off paying 1500 more and getting it certified by BMW. I believe , my experience visiting BMW dealer ships and gettign to know their families on a first name basis...and counting every tile in that place ..makes me an expert. 1674 tiles on the floor and walls, 238 in the wash room.
