I'm thinking of picking up an E55 but was wondering about possible service issues given the relatively rarity of the engine.<br>
<br>
Has anyone experienced problems with service?<br>
<br>
If anyone here is from the SF Bay Area, where do you bring your E55 for service and are you satisfied with the service that you've received?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Very reliable, bullet proof!

Go for it!

I haven't had any problems (10K miles so far) with the engine or transmission. It should be more reliable than the normal engines, as it is not a mass produced engine. There is one person who posts here who had to have the transmission replaced, I think on a '99. Check out the older posts.<br> rich, '01 black/charcoal

Had mine 5 months with no service calls necessary.<br> <br> Each engine is hand built by one person and I have not heard of anyone every blowing an E55 engine.<br> <br> Guess if it needed service it could be a few weeks to get parts, but you would get that with any German brand.
