Lol if you are remotely concerned with "value" or "out of warranty repairs", the S85 is categorically NOT the motor you want. It's an extraordinary motor, IMO the best BMWM has produced since the S54, but it's damn close to a race motor and will happily extract five-figure labor charges on a routine basis.
It's the type of motor that can genuinely cost $20K a year to keep running. But I look a the displacement and powerband, and wonder "where is the boost?!?!?"
