Does your N63 M5 eat batteries?

I am looking to upgrade my E90 335i with a used F10 M5 (preferably LCI), so I have been doing my homework looking into known issues and reliability problems.

Just yesterday I came across this article from Road & Track regarding the N63 damaging batteries within 10K miles (roughly every oil change).

http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cult...ns-bmw-n63-v8/

I have searched the forum, but was not able to find anything on this topic.
Have any of you run into this issue???

N63 is a different engine. M5 has S63tu engine. I have seen people complain about that issue in N63 engines over 6post (650i) but not M5/M6 owners.
