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 got a 2012 x5 with only 90k. My oil pan has been leaking for the last five years. I need to fix the air conditioning this spring but other than that it’s still running pretty well. I do have a seatbelt issue and one of my parking sensors is gone but mechanically it’s pretty decent. I changed the water pump, thermostat and valve cover up within the last two years. I’m definitely gonna buy a new CPO X5 in the next two years though.
