There is a reason for that. N63 engine is absolute nightmare.
Check whether Customer Care Program (CCP) was done on that engine which involves replacement of valve stems. Check oil all the time. Expect leaks, expect leaking turbo lines etc.
I am not sure whether BMW NA still has that CCP for N63 owners.
Sorry to break bad news.
It's a 2009, I don't believe the N63 was used until 2011, this has the N/A N62 in it, which had several issue to my recollection, can't remember off the top of my head what they were, but, yeah, late 2000s into the 2010s BMW V8 engines are not known for their low cost of ownership.
