With those mileages , I shouldn't be proud of... but worry about 
Should I trade in my E60 for a bicycle?

Car is registered February 2004 and 105k miles / 169k km on the clock.
Usually I drove about 27k miles / 43k km annually.
But hey, my car is diesel powered! And consumption is about 7.5 liters / 100km! I think that is quite good with chipped 530d!

I would like hear about maintenance issues/reliability from those with high mileage (~100k miles) and who have also strictly followed BMW's maintenance schedule. There are a lot of discussions about the need/lack of need to perform for more frequent oil, tranny, diff fluid changes, etc. and I'd be curious to see how the cars are holding up when one sticks to BMW's recommended maintenance schedule.
