I wouldn't avoid it...in fact it's the only E70 engine I'd opt for aside from the S63 (X5M). It's a sweet engine, offering much more power than the N55 (which has known Vanos issues), as well out the prior V8 model (4.8i) with the N62.

All E70 models have their quirks/shortcomings....these are BMW's, stuff breaks. You have one so I'm sure you already know that
