The 54 i'd put forth as one of the most maintenance hungry motors out there, it's ALWAYS breaking, leaking, fraying, etc some pump/hose/line/solenoid/injector/coil/canister.
Neither are cheap motors to keep on the road, bottom line. Hey you could own an S85- now that is an expensive motor to keep happy. It'll happily remove $3K chunks from your bank account with frequency.

lol i would love an s85 if the m5 wasnt so dam ugly. hands down worst looking car bmw ever produced was the e60 m5.
and yes exactly i feel like its just always something with the n54 and i guess it all comes to if you want to spend 500 to 1000 bucks in your engine bay every couple months ..or a 10k dollar engine rebuild every couple years lol
