I just turned 80K miles on my '05 545i. No major or minor problems for that matter. I had a slight hesitation, but at the recommendation of my local s.a., I ran a bottle of techron threw it and what a difference. Found a local indy shop to take care what ever may come up. Oil changes at 7,500 miles, get it out on the freeway and run it. I really enjoy my E60. I am also hoping for many miles from this car, nothing else I drive comes close to it.

My Ride: '04 530i: Bone stock
July 2010 I purchased my 2004 530i with 73k miles. I just hit 102k miles and it still runs and drives perfect. The only maintenance I've done since I purchased it was the scheduled oil change and the scheduled spark plug change at 100k. Its my first BMW and definitely not my last. Best car I've ever had.

mines has 211,000 miles on it. Nothing really worth talking about just service items. However, i have rough running and just posted something tonight. The vacum pipes are all eroded and will need repaired. I keep my cars until they get crashed or die.
e39.....345,000 miles
e60 530d......268,000 miles wrote it off.
current model e60 535d....211,000 hope its good for another 200,000 miles engines bulletproof. Must confess i spent a few quid on a gt1. And these cars are all electronics i figure it will pay for itself at the end of the day.
Much written about the dpf, i bought this car at around 100,000 miles and its not had one!

I haven't done anything to the transmission as of yet. I have wondered about that and the dealer has made no mention of it (however, they did include a list of $5k worth of other things they thought needed addressed) the few times I have been there. I do have a leaking sensor sleeve I will be changing this summer which will involve changing the fluid.

121000 on my 04 545i6
still drives great! I got underneath to do my first oil change expecting the worst... no leaks that I could see!!
Car still drives like new... handles great!
the only things i notice is the shifter is pretty sloppy... and the adaptive headlights dont work
they go up and down... but the light flashes...;( oh well.
