The M62 in my 740iL,the 540i, the S62 in the M5, and the M62TU in the X5 are basically the same block. I agree, it is mostly a maintenance problem. I do remember that the early M5's also have terrible EGR and carbon problems causing sludge, but apparently from 2001 and on it was fixed. I guess I was trying to kill two birds w/ one stone mentioning that poor/improper oil choices and lack of maintenance will hurt all cars, including the I6's that we're discussing here.
