I would honestly avoid 06 and try to get into 08 or later. With a little time and effort it’s worth getting LCI with oil pan updates. Rod bearings are less of an issue than in M3s and those engines don’t have problems with main bearings like s65 motors do. They’re not as often but they’re there and surprisingly in LCI s65 cars. Look up M539 restorations on YouTube. My long time friend has 2010 with manual. Phenomenal cars if you know what you’re getting into. He has low milage one and didn’t do bearings yet. Only thing he had problem with was leaky oil cooler.anyway with those cars you will spend your many regardless. It’s up to you to decide if you should do it when purchasing or later when fixing it up. Some Parts are not exactly inexpensive and exclusive for that platform. Good luck with your search.
