105k on mine with only one snapped rear spring a few years back. (530d purchased with 60k on the clock back in Sept 2014 as AUC)

However I do keep on top on maintenance and use only genuine OE parts:
Oil changes every 9k (Castrol LL04)
Rear diff oil replaced at 90k (plan to change every 30k)
ZF8HP gearbox oil and pan replaced at 90k (I'll change it at 140k or 160k if I still have the car in 3 years - but I'll probably move to a G30 540i in 2-3 years)

Just last week a hum started to emanate from the blower. I've yet to take the housing part (a ten minute job from you tube) and investigate whether it leaves, a broken housing filter or a bearing.

So overall fairly reliable.
