We consider coherent systems based on dependent components with arbitrary exchangeable and continuous joint distributions. Applying an extension of the Samaniego representation for the system lifetime distributions with independent components to the exchangeable model, we provide some bounds for the distributions and moments of the coherent system lifetimes. In particular, we present sharp upper and lower bounds on the distribution functions and expectations of arbitrary system lifetimes, dependent on the Samaniego signature of the system and the marginal distribution of the components. We further determine more general expectation bounds dependent on the mean and variance of the component lifetime marginal distribution, and respective refinements for restricted classes of distributions. We also consider evaluations of lifetime variances in terms of the marginal distribution and variance of a single component.
