Should I buy 2013 BMW M550i xDrive

I saw this car on the internet and I was wondering does this car have any issues I should worrying about if I buy it. I been researching on this app and haven't really found much about it. The car also has 100k miles flat, at what point does this car will have problems?

A lot of things can go wrong in a 100k miles BMW. Does it have clean Carfax? Dealer or private?

IMHO, you need to do further research on the track record of this motor. What is your appetite for risk?

You should have a test drive and at least get it inspected to understand what you're buying.

2018 actually.
So a 7 year old 550xi with 100k, has probably seen its better days at best.

Yes, the motor is prone to self destructive behavior.
