I always tell people to stay away from the v8's unless they like to work on their own vehicles. The N63 engine is notorious for oil leaks and valve stem seal leaks. Not to mention with the reverse head flow design, twin turbo and direct injection they are a pain to work on. Now the S85 does have some minor issues, parts are expensive but are easier to work on IMO. If you like the F02 have you considered the 740 model with the N55 engine? Less major problems and way easier to work on and still have decent power.I've had an E60 535, currently torn between an E60 M5 and an F02 750x for my next car. The F02 makes way more sense, but that S85's sound is like a modern-day siren song...
