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!!! :thumbup:

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.
