You're doing it right with 1st class parts - 84k on my '01 X5 and so far I can't seem to wear anything out - even the Diamaris still have too much tread to replace just yet(new at 36k) - front brakes were done at 28k by original lease/owner, but still are good today - my X5 gets a thorough checkup 2x a year just before I do my cross country travel from SC to ID(May) & back(Sept) - I have some electronic upgrade issues, but I just plain love this car - I wish you the best with yours
