How many miles can a typical BMW Go for?

Just wondering how many miles can someone get out of a 3, 5, or 7 series BMW without having to start putting a lot of money into it? Any known defects that I should look for if buying used?How many miles can a typical BMW Go for?How long a bimmer lasts is directly related to how much care is given to the car. I've seen countless examples of high mileage BMWs running beautifully, for example, a 1987 325is with 172,000, a 1992 750iL with 190,000 (my mechanic's), 1985 635Ci with 184,000, and the list is unending.

The thing is, owning an old BMW inexpensively is an oxymoron. I don't mean to deter you from the brand, but if you want reliability, buy a Honda.

If you are looking to buy used, make sure you avoid the V8s from the late 90s and early 00s. Additionally, search BMW owners websites like the BMW CCA classifieds, Roadfly, and Bimmerforums.How many miles can a typical BMW Go for?200,000 plus if you keep up with maintenance.How many miles can a typical BMW Go for?you did not mention the 6 series, a known defect --- owner not taking care of the best car ever made in the whole wide world.
