Just bought a 2010 X3 with 100k miles.
Here is the service history as a data point of what things were needed for the first 100k.
I think the X3 did really well, and needed very little.
Seller took a hit on depreciation ($30k down to $8k)
For repairs, seller spent $3500 in 7 years, which included $750 for tires.
I am expecting to spend more on maintenance, but less in depreciation.
These cars bottom out at $4k
