I really appreciate your advice. Thanks
Not sure if you've already pulled the trigger but I just purchased a 2014 740 li xDrive. The primary reason that I went for a 740 over a 750 was because of the engine issues that so many people described. personally, I would rather have two less cylinders than to have the headache of constant engine oil consumption and other valve related problems. from what I've read I don't think the n55 is completely out of the woods but certainly list chances of failures.
