[QUOTE="andrewk, post: 622153, member: 3188"] I also did some research on owning one.. we all got the same itch la :wink: From what I've read and what I found out from E65/66 owners:- - Electricals issues is one of the main concerns for a model like this. If nothing happens, thank your lucky stars. If something does, it can be quite difficult to diagnose - Rear EDC absorbers are expensive to replace. IIRC, somewhere in the tune of RM12-15k for the rear set. - Regular maintenance (oil filter / oil change / consumables) commensurate the 7 series range, but not much more than our current E38. - Bodykits can be quite pricy too. A friend had to replace a side skirt and rear bumper. Went into the 5 figure range. - If can, get the facelifted one. Less problems. Forget the early production models. More problems with electricals and idrive issues. That's about as much as I found before home security minister found out the plan and sent it to Kamunting.... as far as i know, its still sitting there without any possibility of release... [/QUOTE]
