fuel injection post 2007 530i problems still an issue

[Robmilford]

I'm looking to buy a 530i touring 2008 ish but I keep reading stories about injector, coil pack and fuel pump problems, hasn't BMW sorted these things out yet as I really dont want to either pay out for an aftermarket warantry or stump up for expensive repairs. I'm highly tempted to go for a 2006 car to get round the problem, even though the gear box is not as good and the interior is worse. I don't fancy the diesel either.

Just buy the BMW warranty and forget about it. You'd be bonkers to try and run a car like this without a quality warranty anyway, they are just too complicated these days.

I've for a 2006 M sport with 66000 media pack and full bmw service history for 10770. I think this looks like a good compromise

But it's a pre LCI, so you end up with the nasty interior designed by somebody who was tripping out at the time and forgot he was designing an executive saloon and peeling plastics on the steering wheel etc. Think I'd rather an E Class Merc or an A6 than a pre LCI E60, at least they are made properly.

Just looking at the photos on adds I'm struggling to see much differance between the earlier and latter cars, but going to look a a few next week
