Considering a 550i GT- but what about this...

Drove and loved a 2011 550i GT XD today with 88k, BUT I have some concerns before getting too serious about this car.

1. CPO warranty goes out in Feb (2 months of warranty!)
2. Carfax does not show the "big" recall work has been done
3. Carfax does show that a coolant hose was replaced, as well as the vacuum hose at 45k
4. Computer module replaced at 73k
5. Fuel pump replaced at 83k (I don't know if this was the in tank, or if it has more than one)
6. Check engine light on- stored code P12A9 Engine boost pressure (ran beautifully, but I only drove it about 40 minutes)

All service done at the same local dealer for the life of the car- 3 previous owners 3 years- 8 months- and 1 year all local.

Interior looks great, and exterior is 9/10

So- am I crazy to consider buying this high tech monster? I've had two I6 bimmers but this is a new ballgame.
