S62 is an impressive motor, a V8 with ITBs from the factory, so much win.

as long as all the electronics are in order then youre only going to be dealing with your scheduled suspension refreshing and engine maintenance.
I checked out one before i bought my NB, it was 10k and it was a fucking dog. All the clean ones seem to be going for about 20k, which honestly is not bad for the caliber of car it is. The price of cleaning these things up is so ridiculous i'd rather pick up a clean, low mileage one than something that needs lovin'.

Suspension wise i'll probably go coilovers and replace bushings at the same time. I'm just worried about VANOS maintenance.
