I think next year, I'm going to put 100K miles on it.

I'm thinking about driving my car for up to 75k-100k miles or for about 5 years until I trade-in or for another car which could possibly be another 3 or even a 5 series. But you never know where life will take me in 5 years....

I just calculated for 150,000 how much gas would be at 30MPG, 16gallon capacity, and $3.25 per gallon. $16,250!

how much do you think gas will cost in 5 years? i think 5 years ago it was like $0.99.

lol, I only used the current gas price, because I wanted to see how much gas would cost if I put on that many miles in one year.

I'm really not sure, it could be lower, higher, or the same. Probably higher.

I leased mine. I looked at the following benefits when I made my decision over purchase:

- Didn't want to have to worry about servicing past the warranty period...especially on luxury cars which are costly to service/repair.
- Didn't want to shell out the 7K to 10K in downpayment to get the monthly to a comfortable level. Leasing allowed me to put 0 down and have the monthly I wanted.

And above all...

- I always get to drive a new BIMMER!

its like I love the E90, I really feel like there is no other car that handles and drives like this car. I extremely love the cruise control, its like my fav. part. But I dont know, I just am anticipating the Camaro more and more. Hopefully I can have both cars, but if not the E90 will have to go. Just hope gas price to increase much by then.
