Reliability after 85K?

I am new to the forum and have 85K on an '01 3.0 automatic. Other than keeping up with the factory maintenance schedule, is there anything else I need to be doing to ensure reliability for several more years? Anything to watch out for? Thank you for your help.

Well I'm guessing it isn't a CPO so just make sure you keep up with scheduled service, like the 90K one.

BMW's are solid vehicles, for the most part, but when they break it costs $$$.

Watch the cooling system, thats going to the the system that takes you down if it fails, the engine will go to very high miles with little effort.

Welcome. Do some reading here. Some guys are in the 100-150,000 mile range. Enjoy.

Talking about water pump. Wonder what's the longest service life out there? Anyone out there has original H2O pump over or close to 100k miles?
