Wow, n55 must be one of the most reliable engine in bmw history..... |
Not saying that, as my old N52 in my z4 was bullet proof,
.
But for a turbo car it's been rock solid. The only issues I've ever had with the car engine wise has been the oil leaks from the oil pan and oil filter housing witch has all been fixed with the newer designed gaskets so hopefully it won't happen again.
Otherwise I've been more than happy with it!
And keeping up with the maintenance. All fluids changed and new belt and spark plugs, the biggest issue was a transfer case that failed but that's driver error for letting the tires get out of spec and wearing down the internal clutches.
Still rolling on original suspension. Though these miles are mostly highway so that counts for something. Just had a full checkup and everything is nice and tight.
I drive between Chicago and Michigan a lot so the miles are stacking up.
