Advice needed

I am a long time owner of a 2007 n54 FBO, tuned e90.

I'm thinking of purchasing a 2010 e71 (X6). I know the six cylinder has the N54 in it. No issues there.

I am wondering about the v8 for that period. I think it's the n63.

Can you guys tell me the ins & outs of the engine? The on-line reports suggest several recalls & problems with it. However, that was 10 years ago.

What I'm wondering is if I get an X6 with a n63 motor what should I expect? I'd be looking to get one with under 100,000 miles, or does that matter?

Or

Should I stay away from the N63 & stick with an n54 powered one since I'm very familiar with this engine.

Please advise....
