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....
Here is what you need to know on an n63, don’t buy one. The n63tu is fine, but it was never available on the e70
