BMW owners expect their cars to last a long time - we’re still regularly servicing BMW's from the '60s - and keeping your BMW up-to-date on its services is the best way to insure that. Many of our customers have been able to keep their cars performing well past the 300,000 mile mark. A few are even beyond 400,000 miles, and at least one is over 500,000 miles!
