From everything I have read, it is one of the most reliable V8s produced by BMW in years, and being the third iteration of the design, the gremlins have been largely vanquished. Combine that with a truly beautiful car design, a gorgeous color scheme, AWD, and horsepower that not long ago would have been deemed M-worthy, and you have a magnificent specimen in this example. I would add that I just put some Extreme Contact Continentals on my 911and they put my old P Zeros to shame in ride, noise, and handling; so getting a new set for this car is quite a bonus. Few of these big luxury performance ICE coupes are left in the dystopian SUV EV nightmare that is slowly crawling its way across the universe.
