The maintenance headaches of them is overblown, when cars are abused as often as they were and not properly maintained then they can get a bad rap. The SMG in the V10 cars has all the same maintenance frequencies as other BMW cars. The 6spd was much less problematic. Well maintained 6spds are past bottom and holding or increasing in value. Its easy to find poorly maintained V10s on the cheap, much harder to find the nice ones.
