Default C7 issues ?

i am considering moving to a C7 2014/15 and have done a search of any issues, have read some of the magazine articles, some with minor issues of fitment and items just failing, along with a shiter like a "log in a bag of cement" problem. is there anything i should be looking for in a 14/15 to be made aware of. Am looking at 6mn and Z51 coupes. i have done searches, but nothing jumps out.

My '14 M7 was a great car (ordered in 2013). Only one problem with it (replaced the center screen under warranty),otherwise it was flawless. Shifting was a bit notchy when cold but smoothed right out after a mile or two from cold start. Then again, my '19 Grand Sport M7 behaves the same. No big whoop

Sold it to its new owner with 52K miles on the clock

Saw a number of posts when the '14s came out about problems with the Infotainment system, but I would hope they would have been addressed by now. Other than that, they seem to be pretty reliable.
