is it just me ... why are people surprised a BMW can get to high mileage? should be able to with proper routine and preventative maintenance.

my 318ti is still on the original clutch, trans, engine @ 237k miles and i haven't touched any of them other than doing fluid changes.

I guess with all of the issues you hear on here with the X5, some are skeptical that it will give them long-term service.

With that said, I spent around $12K last year to keep this thing going, but my intentions are to keep it for quite awhile longer.
