Hey FC, my schedule is pretty crazy these days (down in CT a lot for work) but if you don’t find one locally to check out in next few weeks, maybe we can meet up at some point. I have a 2020 with DHP.

I agree with your though - I hear all the doom and gloom on the V8 reliability but truth is there aren’t as many examples of the TU2/TU3 versions with higher mileage yet so it’s hard to say what will happen. I’m sure they will have some occasional issues but do think it’s likely BMW has improved a lot of the weak spots.

I got +5yrs extra coverage for my X5 and will likely do same for M550 soon for piece of mind. I’ve posted before about the Fidelity warranty I got for the X5 - would have preferred the BMW plan but it maxes out at +3yrs additional and is quite expensive. You can get much longer terms from Fidelity (varies based on year/current mileage but think they will go up to +10yrs) at much lower cost per year of coverage and it’s a very solid 3rd party warranty.
