Miles per year

So I was doing my quarterly taxes yesterday & realized that I bought this thing just over a year ago with 22k miles-it's now at 57k. Youch! No wonder I don't keep cars long. Anyone else out there sticking 35,000 miles a year on their X?

that would be nearly 2000 gallons of fuel costing over £10000 in this country .
thankfully I only drive my X5 around 6500 miles per year

I do around 48,000 a year. I've been slowing down a little. A few years back I had 65,000. Out side sales.

Weasel will become famous soon enough
I will soon be having to drive around 28,000 a year, so I'm getting my old E36 back to let it rack up the miles rather than the X5... might even sell the X5 in a year or so in favor of a 4 door 4x4 F250 diesel depending on how things go with the new house.

Try to add the F250 rather than trade the X5 for it!!

Wish they made F-150 6-cyl turbo diesel that can tow 10000lb with ease. I just can't see 3/4 or full ton for daily.

I do 3-4k/month. But I spread it between my Z4 and X5.

I tried doing it on one car, but it was just too much for it. Sucks having a two year old car with 80k miles and maintenance issues.

In two years I'm trading my X5 in for a two year old 2011 X5 35d

2006 X5 3.0i 75k miles
2006 Z4 3.0i 42k miles

I generally spread about 45-50K miles a year over 4 cars. Lately I have been doing most of my mileage in the X5. Gotta stop doing that.
