Had my 02 E-46 for a little more than 9 years and 135K. Total maintenance cost over that time was maybe $2500, excluding new tires.
Intend to keep my New E-90 equally long unless I go first or gas goes to ten per gallon, in which case I will be driving a Prius.
When I enjoy a car, I see no point in not keeping it unless it starts to fall apart. That was starting to happen to the E-46, which is the only reason i traded it in. But I am middle aged and have no reason why I need impress anybody with a new car every few years. Additionally, BMW's tend to age very well appearance and paint wise.
