My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
A 100,000 km driven E60 is just up for everything!
New underneath, the whole front ends moving parts and new tires
plus filters (AC) and oil, shocks, dics, pads, wipers etc
All this made at the dealers!
After that it's good for another 100 k miles.

My Ride: 2006 BMW M5
A car with more of +50K miles / +80K km specially second hand and non-CPO
I would spend extra money to change/replace everything:
- Spark Plugs
- Coolant System
- Oil
- Braked fluid
- Steering fluid
- Air filter (get an AFE!)
