Lovely engine but needed to have a a few problems solved, vanos and rod bearings on certain years. I loved the engine, it was insane, marvelous... how much power, torque, the sound... but then it really wasn't all that reliable.
My vanos failed while in the canyons of Los Angeles. The above picture is during the 3 weeks it took me to replace the engine myself with the help of a friend... my mechanical experience comes mostly from this car and all the work I did / had to do to it.
What an experience and what a feeling to have owned one of your dream cars!
