Poor fuel efficiency and running. The “check engine” light keeps flickering. An ignition misfire The vehicle frequently stalls at low speeds. The air/fuel mixture is rich and does not combust fully. Every common/known issue that can go wrong on the E60 m5. went wrong on mine. LOL @Garfunkgrin - Here it goes! LOL. Again YMMV. I may be representative of the extreme side of ownership of stuff to break/fail.-VANOS line/pump (more common in pre engine-update but mine was a 2008 LCI)-Oil cooler (weak neck broke, a new OEM was installed)Hit the button to turn recirc off, no noise, but aprox 5secs later, the fan speed/airflow dies down. Hit the button twice to turn recirc on, no noise, fan speed/airflow slowly increases. Almost like the inside vent intakes are closing, but the external ones aren't opening, causing the airflow to slow down.
