Buying an '05 4.8is.....
 After selling my 330, I have had BMW withdrawals. In fact, I've gone through an M35X and currently have Jeep GC SRT8 and hate them both. My wife now wants an X5. I only want a V8, and the '08's are priced out of my comfort zone....so I looked around and found a 2005 4.8is with 33,000 miles...only 38k. I feel it's a good deal. Any 4.8 owners out there that can warn of any potential reliability issues for that particlar year? Consumer Reports says 05 V8's had poor reliability in the areas of minor transmission, power equipment and audio systems. Thanks. __________________

Do a couple quick searches and you will find a ton of complaints about the following:
Transmission or Trans software Window Regulators Other then that, just the basic little BMW nuances. I don't think there is anything in particular to the 4.8. The 4.8 and 4.4 motors have been used through out the BMW lineup.  Enjoy!

Would you recommend upon purchase that I immediately have the dealer upgrade to the latest software?

I have a 03 e53 4.6is and it has had a few minor issues, but nothing that would have detoured me from making the purchase over again. In fact it was the best decision I have ever made when it comes to buying a vehicle! Thier are a ton of 4.6's & 4.8's for sale right now and it's a buyers market, have fun and find the exact one you want!
You may want to look for one with OEM Nav, that will help you keep your re-sale value up further down the road! bf

The one I am looking at has Nav and comfort seats. And the sliding load floor. But no heated steering wheel.
