Although the 5.0 are more problematic, BMW engines (with few exceptions) are pretty solid, barring abuse. The inline 6 engines are more or less bullet proof as far as major engine issues. I have:
E24 with an M30 (absolutely buttetproof)
E46 M3 best car that I have ever owned with best engine ever (some douchbags abused the car early in production requiring rod bearing recall and TWS oil switch)
E90 328i, one of the best cars I have ever owned.
And of course the F15 3.5 which, knock on wood, has been the most useful car I have ever owned although I do not like the increased dependency of computerized systems, and some of the early fails are concerning.
I also have had an E36 M3 which was a sold car engine wise as well as many others.
