Barry, I saw your 99,999 mile post and forgot what thread I was in and saw the lights and was like Damn, that sucks. Then you got me again with the 100,000 mile post and saw the lights, thinking Oh, no that's not very good! Haha Keep her going for another 100k!!
Good plan! :-) I'm a little surprised I've put on about 10,000 miles a year since I never drive it as a daily. Purely pleasure driving with only one real trip other than the drive home from Vegas with it. Took a trip out to Yellowstone a couple of years ago and maybe 6 times down to the Black Hills. BH is only about 600 miles round trip but I put on another 4 or 5 hundred playing in the twisties while I'm there.Quote:

It's been over 2 years since it's seen any rain, that was in Minneapolis right after getting the software updated.Quote:

I've spent a good bit on PM but a lot of that was just for peace of mind. I like to know I can jump in my car and go anywhere at any time.
Biggest issue so far was having to update the software to get rid of the 2800 rpm miss. I did get a 2974 Peake code for that but it never lit a light, just a hidden code a couple of times. I would clear it and a month or two later it would come back.

No lights version.....

As of this morning I now have 127,573 miles on my daily driver. Looking to replace my GUIBO when I install my BMW Performance SSK.

@Barry, that's awesome to hear! Your bimmer should last another 100k w/o significant issues based on how you take care of her :)!
Sweet!Quote:

The X5 turned 100k on our last trip back from Ohio.. a little blurry... kinda hard to hold the iPhone still at 85 mph in the PA mountains...
Why is it that no matter how many cars I've had in the past with over 100k, and I've had a lot, when one hits 100k, there is always the feeling of impending doom... lol

Is that the seatbelt light?

Yea the TPMS light has been on forever... not at the top of my TS list right now. When I check it with DIS, it says there are no codes. I've driven for over 30 years without TPMS so I'm not too worried about it
