2005 E46 (330i) 2 years
2007 E90 (335i) 3 years and counting. Plan to keep it as long as it can run.

I had a 1995 318i 4Dr prior to kids (bought a 1990 75Oil with kids) anyway...sold it to a gal at church with 112K on it, 8 years later she still has it, now has 206K and going strong.

My maintenance always involves extracting some AFT every time I change the engine oil, and putting in some new. I'll be doing this every 10K on my '06 330i once it reaches 50K miles. Lifetime fluid...dont start. Just ask the older 93-96 740 BMW owners how that works....do the research...If you plan on keeping a car for a while, change some fluids... On my other cars I even suck out some power steering fluid from the resevoir and replace. Ever wonder why those old ford steering pumps growl so bad? 10 year old fluid...you think?

I've had my car for a little more than two years. (2006 E90 325i)

My parents got it for me when I was 17, I'm now 19 and I still love my car.

I Plan on keeping it for a very long time. =]
