I currently have a E32 740iL with 310K, yes a V8 M60 engine in it, still running strong, and a E53 4.4, another V8 M62 with 115K on it, original tran running strong. So expect it to last as long as you take care of it.... Taking it to Jiffy Lube for and a oil change is not quite what I call taking care of it either..... Needs a BMW oil filter!!!
Taking proper care of these German cars is way more important than on a Honda or Toyota for example. Some of those cars will go past 200K even if you do not do all the right things.
