Hey everyone.... Many moons ago had a 318i (E30), currently own an 335i (E93) and a 535i (F10). My 335i has suffered the spun bearings issue on the crank, engine is done, so that will be gone soon. Looking to replace it with the 650i convertible. Any buying advice? Years to avoid? How reliable is the V8? Some of the things I've read here scare the crap out of me. Don't want to lose another engine. Thinking a 2017, maybe '18 so I have warranty, but then I'm paying a lot for the warranty. An '18 is probably 30K more than a '15. We love the 535i for highway cruising and want to travel (one day!) in the 650i, so highway comfort is important. I'm sure most of the stories on here are folks looking for help, no one comes on here to tell us how wonderful there car is. But I'm really nervous to buy another BMW. Don't like anything from MB or Audi. Love the 650i but scared. Thanks in advance. Cheers.
