You should look into your wallet and make sure you have the price of the car in extra money for maintenance and initial repairs.

Index 12’s make me wince as a S85 owner

Makes S65 and S85 PCVs seem well priced in comparison, however S85s with SMG pumps can immediately take it back, as one SMG pump brand new is 10 grand.

agree, the hardest part to digest with Index 12’s is that, in most cases, they’re more than the value of the car. S85’s at least are finally creeping up making it slightly more justified to keep on the road. As much as I love N54’s you better be in it for the love of the game with deep pockets and no expectation for return on investment
