Pretty sure the prior owner did not do long trips. When I started using it to go to my camper which is about 800 miles round trip, it threw multiple codes and twice went into limp mode for reasons I still don’t understand, to the point that I keep an Ancel BMW-specific OBD reader/reset device in it. But the last three trips, nada. Runs great, no codes, though I could really use an actual overdrive gear vs the 1:1 5th because she gets kinda noisy much over 75mph. At almost 200,000mi she does use about a liter of oil every 1500mi or so which is not bad at all. I might even drive it to Mexico next spring if it keeps behaving well. Atlanta to Puerto Vallarta is about 34 hours of driving though.
