Average span was 80K on those engines - then all sorts of failures.
It's sad to see / hear it seems to be the same for the F10. Sadly, it seems post E Series like the E39, this is becoming a norm on ///M Engines.

Ive never driven the V10 but had one that passed me the other day on the highway with a full exhaust on it. I got into a wreck (hit and run) and the thing passed me roaring. Sounded amazing. Performance wise they do not hold up to the F10 and the F10 is still much better car reliability wise. As these cars get newer they keep getting better.
