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.
I don’t go by miles. I go by when I feel like getting a new one. Had a ‘14 that had less than 50K that I gave to my kid (in ‘19) who was commuting to college at the time and his car pooped out. He still has it and it has a little over 80k. He said he will drive it into the ground. Got ‘19 Audi A5 Sportback and got rid of it last year. It had less than 36k. Bought a brand new ‘23 and plan on driving it cost too much to.
