Yup spot on. Love it when it runs right...nothing better. problem is it does run right for long plagued with check engine lights. The timing chain goes-vanos seals-value seals and all cost 3k or more each. Knowing what I know now I WOULD NEVER BUY a V-8 E53...3.0 is fine if you change the water pump and rebuild the vanos. At 80k every front end part will have to be changed....

You should not buy a V-8 E53. Sorry but true.

I've owned 6-7 BMW's over the years...V-8 E53 is the worst, probably worst than a Yugo.

I still LOVE BMW cars.
