My Ride: 08 528I Sport/Prem
Mine is a 08
Bought mine with 70k last year and now have 80k on it. Drives like new. When the summer comes, I'm going to probably start replacing hoses as a preventative measure. Rubber will always fail.

106,000 miles on an 04 545. Shortly after bought at around 55000 miles 2 and a half years ago it had: tranny, headlights, steering rack and rhermostat (I mention this becuase it was like $400 for the part) replaced. Since then nada, routine maintenance, oil, belts, sparkplugs and filters. Coupla occasional creaks in the interior otherwise drives like new. Got rear-ended about 2 years back with $700 damage (license plate bolt holes in the bumper). The other car looked half-wrecked. It's a tank....a very fast nimble tank...

My Ride: '05 BMW 530i
111,000 miles on mine. It's a '05 530i. I don't feel too bad after reading this thread. Thanks to the OP. I've driven my car everywhere: NY, Miami, California. I bought it in Nov. '08 with 51k miles on it.
Things replaced so far:
-AC Belt
-Water Pump
-Battery (dealer was playing with my $)
-Radiator Hoses
-2 Fuel Pumps (one failed after 59 miles)
-Camshaft Sensor (dealer was playing with my $, didn't know what the problem was)
-Crankshaft Sensor (dealer was playing with my $, didn't know what the problem was)
-Rear right Speed Sensor
-All brake pads
-All rotors
-Oil Change every 7k miles
I am planning on keeping this car now since I have replaced many parts, I have paid for all repairs out of pocket (NO CPO) and everything done at BMW dealer. No one has touched my car, except that one dealer, ith the exception of changing the oil myself this last time...

110, 264 miles on the clock....2004 E60 M54 no major issues/repair besides safety mat sensor recall.
Kept up on all maintenance....All fluids were swapped out besides differential due to that lasting well within the 200,000 mi mark before needing changed.
Probably replace my vanos o-rings and valve cover gasket pretty shortly...within a month or two. About that time.

My Ride: 545i/6
A personal friend of mine just traded in his 6spd 04 545i with 180k on it. Still had oem clutch, coolant system etc. Nothing more than normal idrive recommended maintenance. Most were highway miles, but still impressive. Im almost at 105k, still on oem coolant system, only major replacement has been clutch. Solid cars.
