Well at least one owner is is demonstrating a long life for this car. My concern is not about the HPFP or oil changes (you're wasting your money if you're changing synthetic oil at less than 10k), but it's whether there were lot's of elements in the car that are only expected to last 60-100k before requiring replacement. The end result would be regular $1500 bills once the car left warranty. My 318i ended up costing me about 3k a year in repairs after it passed 90k and that was at good indie shop. A BMW under warranty is a sweet deal, but out of warranty can be a rude surprise. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to be especially true here.
