Thinking of a recond E60 LCI with N53 engine. Any owners here facing big problems with N53? Like injector clogging up, intake valve carbon deposits, coils issue and fuel pump failure?

Try to avoid BMW above 5 years old, i learnt my lesson, my E60 repairs alone cost me more than RM35k stretch of 4 years ownership (Not including routine servicing.) I thought i got a lemon but did some survey among friends who owned E60 preLCI or LCI gave pretty much the same problems.

Is your car a local 2nd hand or recon unreg? I thought of getting the paid warranty like Opal when buying the car.
