@SLOWESTN54 Reviving this oldddd post just because I know you still browse this forum lol.

Just bought probably the cheapest clean title <150k mile one in the US and honestly they're not too hard to work on

First thing I pretty much did was create a tune for it to lower the coolant temp target from 220F (105c) to 185F (85c)

Honestly the aren't miserable to work on, But They're are a few jobs That do absolutely suck. Let me know how your expeirnce goes. Mine has either cooked the valve seals or the Turbo Seals just haven't gotten time to figure it out yet.

Mine will only ever burn oil if you let it idle for 10+ minutes and then rev it up. Nothing on cold start either. Next thing I'm gonna do is replace all the plastic pcv lines and the stupid fuel tank vent pipe with silicone tubing

My friend's M6 pretty much burns oil on acceleration after idling for more than 2 minutes. Pretty bad stuff. I measured crankcase vacuum and got 66 mBar of vacuum. Spec on S63tu is 50 mBar.

We're thinking that one of his internal pcv is bad. It just sucks that injectors gotta come off for a valve cover job :unamused:
