I can sympothize with you, I had an '03 745iL that was a POS. It was so bad that I broke the lease early with a $10k bloodbath. I said that I would NEVER buy a BMW again.
Somehow I managed to find my way to a BMW dealer last winter to look for a replacement for my wife's Lexus Sc430 which was also a POS to a lesser extent & found an IB M5 setting next to the 550i demonstrator I was about to take out. (BTW, she loved the 745iL; I was the one who took it in for repairs) Well, I asked the salesman a little about the M5 & decided to drive it instead of the 550i. Of course, I came home with the M5 after driving it.
The wife let me have the M5 & she took the Lexus LS430 I was driving. I have been without a performance car since I sold my Z06 last year as I was trying to decide what I wanted. The Z06 was fun & fast, but noisy and impractical.
The M5 has fulfilled my need for performance & luxury at the same time. I have had only one problem. Last week the SAS went south & the dealer had it repaired in 3 hours. With the 745iL, I would have been back to the shop in the same period of time at least 5 or 6 times.
So the M5 has been as reliable for me as any car I have owned & compared to the 745iL it is much improved.
I hope this helps.
