4.6is owners HELP PLS!!

Hello U lucky 4.6is owners

i'm considering buying a 4.6is 2003 from first owner, 89k km....sat nav, pneumatic suspension???!!! full...

please help me make a decision!

I'm worried about 2 things
1. pneumatic/air suspension self levelling etc
2. the infamous vanos problem...I've given up on a 2002M5 e39 because of this...Iactually lifted the hood on a warm engine and heard the vanos trouble "diesel" noise on this 65k beast...and read about all the problems and got scared..this was supposed to be a problem with early to 2001 model cars! how does this apply to the 4.6is...I've seen a Youtube link where I distinctly heard the clank clank noise on a 4.6is!!! what are the costs? or maybe this is just what it's got to sound like!
