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.
Every three to four years I purchase a new car, the only exception was my 2005 GTO which I had from new in ‘05 to the summer of 2012. I just kept it while others came and went. Another exception is my 2020 M4cs while will be coming up on four years of ownership soon, with nothing yet compelling enough to replace it with. We’ll see when the G82 is LCI’d
I’m very curious to see how the LCI of the G82 will look. I wasn’t sold on the current model looks at first, but then it certainly quickly grew on me. I can’t wait to get one one day
