List what problems you've had with your E55 and at what mileage

I figured this would help prospective buyers like myself know what to expect in future repairs and compare this to current maintenance records on any E55s we look at. For example:

- IC pump 35K
- Airmatic shock 44K
- Alternator 50K

E55
All service was done at fletcher jones prior.

Oil change and fuel filter/pump replaced at 55k

Oil change and tranny fluid/filter replaced at 60K

Oil change and intercooler pump at 65k

Replace front thrust arm bushings and front tires at 68k

Oil change and Oil level sensor replaced at 70k

I could use a new superchager clutch and belt shortly. Valve cover gaskets starting to show signs of weapage, (not leaking) Rear diff seal starting to look damp. (will need to keep an eye on that)

4 wheeled car.
Knock on wood....58K miles, nothing. scratch that. At 48K or so, I had something with the pulley, I forgot what it was, but it was replaced under warranty. I replaced the belt at the same time.

I've had the car from 42K miles till now (58K). While under manufacturer warranty I had a lot done as preventive maintenance due to a good relationship with my service advisor.

42K Oil change (wanted to start off fresh with AMSoil), supercharger clutch pack, two door handle sensors replaced
48K Oil change, major fluids change (trans,brake,differential), two interior trim pieces that had hairline cracks/scratches, STAR lowering and seat belt chime removed, newer IC pump installed also, some fuel national recall work done also
55K Oil change, some electronic trans plug replaced that was causing leak and they did a full trans service along with replacing pan, did supercharger clutch pack again after I complained it was still rough engagement along with new belts (extended warranty covered most of this)

Is all I can remember for now.
