Today I hit 120,000 miles. I don't know about anyone else, but 120k is when a car reaches it's maturity. I call cars with 120,000 + miles old for some reason.
Now I've got this bug to get rid of it and get one of these:
(MV Agusta Brutale) I absolutely love these bikes. Being in France 2 weeks ago with these and Ducati Monsters everywhere only made my passion for them grow
You've just done a good bit of maintenance. Asides for perhaps the cooling system, your car should honestly be good to go for a while. + Take it from me, selling a car with >100k miles is not a walk in the park. You'll get a ton of offers, but then 95% of them will end up backing out since no bank will finance a car with >100k miles
The few offers you get from cash buyers tend to be low balls and the guys tend to be really picky about a few details.
I remember one guy didn't like drilled rotors and wanted me to discount a couple thousand dollars because of the motorsport rotors I had on my old 330. I tried to explain that they were brand new genuine BMW articles that many would consider a bonus. There were several others who tried to get me to discount by a similar figure because the car was red.
HAahha Just cleaned interior nothing else :P Oh I also washed the engine. Little nerveos at the first time but it started without trouble. No oil residue nothing left.

I reconditioned my alcantara wheel this past weekend. I didn't take any pictures this time, but I had done it before took pictures then. The results are amazing. What looked like completely worn material is just as fuzzy as it ever was ~

After:
I also replaced my upper and lower intake boots yesterday. I had nasty tears in both the old ones and replacing them has solved a hesitation on startup I had been experiencing... and my fuel economy is getting higher again. I don't think she's ever run better since I've owned her.
