S54 engines are solid. The most common failure point is the cooling system. The coolant pump is sort of bad, and when they go they like to pretty much shatter since the impeller is made of plastic. Not necessarily a showstopper, and not horribly expensive to deal with, but it's a potential issue.

People are going to try to tell you that the cost of ownership is horrendous, but it really isn't. Certain parts may cost a bit more, but if you source them properly it's not bad. The only time cost of ownership gets a little high is when you get in to the M and Z series.
