Bmw f01 maintenance help

[shakmonster]

Hello everyone, I'm looking to purchase a 2010 BMW 750 LI XDrive with 100k miles. Knowing Bmws its not for everyone if you don't put some time and money in these cars they wont last long. Considering that these F01s are 8 cylinder twin turbos it might need more tlc than other bmws. Does anyone know how long these engines can go for any tips on maintenance to give the engine a long healthy life and if there are any common issues with these cars I can look out for before it happens thanks in advance!

I've got a 2011 740i, 6-cylinder, a few months ago. When I was in the market, I did some research and I found out the 8-cylinder engine in the F01 750, 550, etc (man simmers share the same engine) is very prone to oil leak, valve seal leak, etc (some of these issues are major repairs and could be very expensive).

So I decided to stay away. I am pretty happy with the 740. 0-60mph in 5.9 second is not bad for such a large, family-oriented, sedan.
