I got my wife one for our anniversary a couple years back. The 3 liters are solid with a decent power band. I see a lot of 4.6/8s come through my friend's shop and he had a lot of problems with his 4.8 as well. I tend to stay away from most bmw's with the v8's as a general rule of thumb. We've had our 3.0 since '12 and outside of standard tire/brake/oil changes I've only had to replace a set of coil packs and a $30 fuel pump relay.
And the cooling system, this goes for every bmw.
make sure the fuel pump has been changed if not, at-least, serviced.
