SMG transmission and engine components aren't very reliable and are VERY expensive to repair. For example, the throttle body motor for one of the banks costs $5000.00 and they always break. And there are two of them. If you do a little research, a lot of repairs cost $10-$15k and aren't necessarily the result of poor maintenance or abuse.
Anything on these cars costs thousands of dollars to repair.

I looked into buying a used 08' with 60,000km, forget about it if it's out of warranty.
You basically need to rebuild the car at 100,000km:
1. New rod bearings
2. New SMG clutch, and most likely a pump
3. New VANOS & pump oil lines
4. New throttle actuators
Factor in 20L/100km, high insurance costs and unexpected electronic failures and you might as well buy a F10 M5 and just take the depreciation hit but don't pay anything out of pocket for maintenance.
