I've owned several 3 and 5 series BMW's, and though they haven't been perfect, they were cars I could count on for 200k miles. I just want to ensure I'd be walking into a mess with the E70.
Thanks in advance for the input.

If you want the lowest cost to drive 200,000 miles, get a Japanese SAV. It will cost you less over time, but you'll pay in reduced driving pleasure as well. You have to decide for yourself. BMW does allot of high tech stuff, but part of the R&D is done while the vehicle is being driven by the owner (in my personal experience).
