They do have several upkeep issues:
> ~60k you'll have to replace your radiator
> ~100k you'll have to replace your 02's
> ~notorious for having thier cluster light pixels go out, but i had mine replaced for free by BMW

a few other little things i've also done like:
>trunk accuator
>its recommended to replace the clutch CDV which bmw puts on all the 5 series 5/6spds except the m5

Its a great car, but bmw's are not cheap to upkeep when something does go wrong. The radiator was actually cheap, only about 175 for the part but it sucks it goes out at ~60k (mine went at 57k).

Other than that all the $ i put in the 540 was upgrades (better steering wheel, rims, suspension, M5 kidney grill, m5 rear liners, etc).

Hope that helps bro. Mine has put down 265rwhp at 2 dyno's and i believe she could be closer to 285.
