I believe the HPFP problem is separate from the oil-cooling issue. With oil overheating, once the car's cooled down, it will drive normally again. When HPFP fails, the car stays in limp mode and does other bad things until the pump is replaced. BMWs have had a limp mode for a while now (as many other cars do), and can enter it for any number of reasons.

This is an homage to the typical owner.

I actually do quite like the previous chassis e63 and thought about getting one used or a clk 63 black series, black of course used as well. I'm just not a sedan guy and a 997s is perfectly fitting for me (gt3 ideally).

I like the comfort and design of the W211 E63 more than the current W212 (which does have more cool electronic toys). The CLK 63 black is probably too harsh on my back. Best thing about the AMG engine is the sound, other than, of course, more torque than you know what to do with.

The 997s are fine but I'd much prefer the 993s if I thought I could live with a greater than 10 y.o. car.

If you like tweaking your car the W211 E55 is nice.

But be very careful what w211 55 you purchase. Alot of them have been modded to death by people who have no idea on how to modify cars and just fck with the A/F ratio.

Forced induction ain't my style. Methinks the 63 can get one into trouble plenty fast enough. I've heard though that those modded E55s can do the quarter mile in 10.x seconds.

Would like an Alabaster white E55T for doing this in.

Not a pic of mine, but close enough.

'03 Infiniti G35 coupe, Diamond Graphite, 6MT, Brembos, factory lip package, Nissan Ipod integration package and some goodies to make it breathe, "think" and corner better.

This is how I like to park when I'm hanging out with the posse at the local bank at night

I've never seen an E55 or E63 in white. S63, yes, but not an E55/E63.

^^^I don't particularly like white cars for myself, but the E55/63 looks good in white, even in the estate version.
