Expensive maintenance cost, especially if the car isn't well maintained.
From the pictures, it is impossible to see where the oil is coming from, you need to look to see if there is oil seeping from below the valve cover.

Yup, I've heard BMW V8s suck ass. But, for $1,400 for a nearly mint X5. idk man
I was thinking about putting in some bottles of motor oil saver and seeing if that'll help the leak.
After all, I'm not keeping the car as a personal vehicle.
