I got the extended warranty from BMW. I figure that I'll keep it for another 40kmi (now has 57k). So far, only new wipers and a new windshield (warranty crack, same as other members).

Highway high mileage is easy on the car including engine and transmission, brake, etc.
I am impressed that electrical stuff is still good...

I highly doubt any car would run like new after 90+ miles on it.
why?
I had a 2000 318i that got to 98,820 miles (just missed its 6 digits birthday) and it felt no different then to when it had 10,000 miles on it.
Depends on the qulaity of the car and how well its treated / serviced. If we are paying premium $$$$ for BMW then you would expect it to be a little better than the norm.
There are BMW on ebay with over 160k miles on that people pay stoooopid money for.
cheers
