How many miles do you put into your car before you say, the mileage is X and I need to get a new car? Do you drive your car to the ground? Do you say when my car hits so many miles, I’ll get a new one? Do you just just keep fixing what is broken and full steam ahead?
My friend had an X5 with I want to say either 250k or maybe 300k before he finally broke down and retired the bucket for a newer one. I don’t remember how the old his car was but he does drive a lot. For reference, he bought a 2022 X5 and already has over 80K miles. Again, he drives a lot of work. The only reason he even bought a new one was because his mechanic refused to continue to work on his old car, LOL.
I have a 2018 and I’m coming up to 80K probably by the end of year. Still runs great with no issues aside the regular maintenance needed. Sometimes I think I want to trade it in for a new one, then I say no, I’m run this bad boy into the ground.
Just got me thinking what every other BMW owner does when you begin to get into the high mileage.

525i E60 from 2007 and I’ve only put 120k miles onto it, I keep up with maintenance very meticulously (Google Sheets of every purchase or repair/maintenance done with a sum of total cost) . considering getting an android CCC unit for Carplay. It certainly isn’t the fastest car or have that instant torque but the drive and (hydraulic)steering and everything is soooo smooth. When I called BMW how much a new windshield was they said 2k for the glass and 2k for labor :( , regardless
I plan on the car to outlive me because I also like not having a car payment.
No limit. At 106k on my 1M. I’m fine with aiming for 500k miles.
Can a n55 last 500k miles?
Usually not mileage but more about cost, age or need.
I drive below average, so my vehicles are usually under mileage for their years but I’d say after about 100k of mileage without much/major issue, I’ll start assessing the other variables. I’d say after about 150k miles or 10-12 years, I’ll start “looking” at options.
146K on my 335, 225K on my truck. Love them both equally but in different ways, they’re both paid for, and just about anything I need on either is cheaper than a new car so I do my own work and will be sticking with the two I love until the wheels fall off.
thanks everyone who chimed in to share their mileage! some great responses here and some have made me chuckle.
i hope my X5 can can make it to 100k and then 150k and so on.
i see some high mileage out there and well, challenge accepted!
