Bought my 2003 W8 back in 2009 with 39K miles on it. It is my wife's car and now has 75,000 miles on it. Have replaced both banks of cam adjusters, new transmission, new exhaust system, new front wheel bearings and control links . . . always dealer serviced and it now runs like a new car. Got to keep it to get my money back out of it, but is is a joy to drive. With 280 hp it really surprises alot of rice rockets and BMW 3's out there.
