After reading this http://forums.e60.net/index.php?showtopic=49207 I started to wonder if there should be a thread that we can post VIN numbers (and brief summary or thread) of problem E60s, so that prospective E60 owners can check before they buy medusa's child. 
Off the top of my head I can think of Slickrick's 535xi & Westcoast550's 550, but there are others I can't recall right now,.....what do you guys think.
