Thanks for posting this, great to see how it's performing as the miles tick by.

My experience with BMWs of a somewhat broad variety is that they need/like to be run hard (not abused) and perform best long term with that kind of use. I sold my e90 to my brother a few years ago (328i 6-speed) with 210k on it and it ran as good as it did when I bought it. Always used right spec oil, kept the intervals reasonable and warmed it up before getting into it. He still loves the car and has no problem taking it to Oregon, Utah etc. Had the same results with an e24, 2002, v8 x5…

Our M5 leaks/uses zero oil between 5k changes and it just seems like a well built tank. I plan to maintain it just like the others and hope I have the same results as you.
