Long term ownership?

My 2011 550I Msport now has 60k miles on it. I am the original owner. I can't imagine anything else as my daily. At the same time I do not want to chase money in repairs. I'm hoping to hear from some hi mileage owners experiences.

Thanks

I am just at 45k miles but out of warranty. It's best to either CPO your car or to move on up. My fuel injectors went out and it was over $5k.

Thanks Barry. I did CPO it. If it was stolen today I would want the same car. I came out of a 750LI and M3 prior. The only other thought would be the 760...2 years old.

$5k for fuel injectors. That's insane. I'll probably sell my F10 before the warranty runs out. I would be so pissed if I had to flush that kind of money down the drain on a regular basis.

I'll be getting mine CPO'd or an aftermarket wtty with a local shop after mine runs out next November. I love my car but know full well what may lie ahead in the terms of bills.

My warranty is wearing out- any suggestions on a non BMW warrant?

EasyCare is the next best warranty that's not BMW. If you get their package, it includes wheel and tire insurance too along with extra things like towing.
