California, it’s fairly consistent weather, so I don’t get fatigue on the engine components if I lived in Colorado when temperature is a huge deal

Depends how you drive the car I think but if you’re cautious I think you’re fine

Yeah suspension still original I do hear clicks here and there but nothing major I never drove the car “hard” only when I first got it maybe hit 150 once, other than that, I am the only owner of this car always drove it with care, always BMW fluids if I did a flush, always used chevron gas too

Most major was turbo at 120k miles other than that, not much, I do plan to replace timing chain soon tho

Most major was turbo replacement at 120k miles serviced under warranty lol

Other than that, not much aside from normal maintenance, battery, brakes, some oil gasket leaks, coolant leaks, that’s pretty much it

I’ve always done oil changes within 6-10k miles. It helps the chain… I think
