Well, I'm curious about the water pumps on the B58. Seems they were prone to failure with at least earlier versions of N55s and around $1000 or more to replace with the thermostat. There is a virtual maze of coolant lines running around to the radiator and intercoolers, too, with a known propensity to lose at least 'some' coolant with an unidentified (as far as I can tell from reading) source for the loss.

What about the charge pipes? I'm looking for a 'reliable BMW', which may no longer exist.
