Traditionally, from my extensive ownership experience of the M3 and X5, endemic issues found later on generally also got a 10 year extended parts warranty, IF not recalled.
Saying that the N63 injector issues is related to S63 is absurd. The N63 is a basketcase. It has extensive history of issues related to the powertrain and specifically the injectors. Aside from engine management and turbo plumbing, the S63 also has different valves than the N63. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_N63#N63B44O0
My point is, you're mixing issues across multiple platforms. I don't disagree M cars are expensive when they break, but point I'm trying to make is, M cars don't break, and the parts that do are either recalled or have extended warranties or in some cases get goodwill fixes.
I for one will not buy any extended warranty, and as such, I would have taken my chance on this car that missed it's 1200 service by 1000 miles. |
Dude I'm not gonna argue but the link you posted is related to specific models (2015) and specific units (956). My car was 2013 and I know many other M5/M6 owners had the same issue due to high power/torque and daily launches...
After about 6 years (since September 2011) ownership of different high end BMW, if my cars did not have warranty (obviously they had because they all were brand new), I would pay over 30k out of packet because of issues they had and I had dealer fixed under warranty; so I will never get ANY USED BMW without warranty but
