The suspension parts have been changed at 200K km I think. they are quite durable. The EDC suspension (front and rear) cost us 40K I think.
Also China roads are not as bad as 10 years ago, most roads in Shenzhen are actually better condition than the highways in Hong Kong.

With proper maintenance I don't think we are abusing our cars ... I still believe that cars were built to be driven...

I am not sure if you agree, our HK-China bimmers are more healthy when they have more highway mileage - where we can use high rpm much more often.

my cousin's e66 which parked in the same parking in Jacky office, he throw away his car after 5-6yr of using it.
he say maintance cost too much, too many things have to be fix, and the car wasn't worth much after these yr, was sold at 2xxk finally.
it was in very very very low millage, no china use.
