Hoping I'm done!
So this weekend I got to do the upper radiator hose, lower radiator hose, and the over flow tank (pin hole). Total time was right about 2 hours. I am right at 98000 miles and wondering if I should move on to a different car. I bought her about a year ago with 90k and have done all this (FSR, Battery, MID cable, 2 CV axles, 1 oil change, added the Media bridge, and now the hoses etc) and this is after an ok from a local inspection (maybe try someone else next time). She's still fun to drive but the nickle and dime stuff is getting old. Keeping the fingers crossed!!!

That's only the nickles and dimes stuff. Wait until you get to the Benjamin Franklins stuff.

You're not done, not yet. 100k miles mark is a major maintenance, not just bimmers but many other vehicles too.
Cooling system overhaul, suspension overhaul are the 2 big tickets.

Your list is nothing compared to what I did in the first year lol.
But now that I'm "caught up" on maintenance it's much easier.

I'm curious what car car the OP is considering purchasing. Any 10+ year old vehicle with 100k miles and a cost of around 20% new price will need maintainence.
The repairs on your list are normal for a vehicle with 10 yrs and 100k miles. Many 1st owners bail out before the 100k mark to avoid the repairs.
