Welcome.
I might be in the minority, and have seen a lot of posts poo'ing on the N63, but my N63 in my '18 G12 is an absolute trustworthy powerplant, and I have plenty of history on BMW's V-8's, and managed to keep an N62 running for 15 years.
With +58k miles on the odometer, I would not hesitate to take the car across country. During the recent 50k maintenance, my inspection of the drivetrain and original spark plugs supports there is another 100k miles (10 yrs of ownership) still left in the vehicle. There are a few things that are temperamental on this vehicle, but overall no more so than on my N55 platform.
My older version of the N63 in my LCI F02, with +87k miles, is a gem. You can't even tell if the engine is on at idle, and has every bit of the original +500 ponies...and no oil leaks....yet.
Hope to see you as a regular here on the G11/G12 forum.
