Having had both the 8 and 12 cylinder versions of the the E38, the 12 is not more expensive to repair and as a bonus has much fewer issues than the 8 (valley pan, timing chain guides, etc.).

It’s better than putting that bastard cheese on it..

Drive an FJ variant (not an FJ Cruiser) and you’ll get the same deal.

Now that is funny.

Goodness, stop that’s not business or capitalism.
