The V8 M62TU is basically the same M62TU across platforms (e38/e39/e53)...same for the I6 M52/M52TU/M54 platforms (e46/e39/e53).

The owners of these engines generally experience the same engine-related failures across the multi-platforms these engines are installed in. So a DIY or common failure on an e46/e39/e38/e53 forum will pretty much apply to all when it comes to comparable engine systems.
