@anomander (or anyone else who knows BMW’s well) - Can you give me any advice on a prudent time frame to plan on keeping the BMW I mentioned upthread?
Quick summary - 2006 330i, excellent condition, well maintained, only 40,000 miles.
Because of the low miles I drive it sparingly, which sort of defeats the purpose of owning it. For everyday driving I tool around in my 2002 Honda Insight (200k miles/65 MPG), but I much prefer the BMW.
On approach would be to try to let go of my innate frugality, and just drive the car I love to drive (and can afford to maintain), plan on putting another 50,000 him or so miles on it, and dump it when the maintenance costs start to compound.
What would you do?
