R50/53 How much life left in my '06 MCS?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say yes! I just purchased an 05' MCS which I drive up and down the DC - Baltimore corridor everyday. It's running as strong as the day I bought it with 48,000 miles on it. Enjoy your new toy and stop worrying.

Sweet! And i thought my wife's Subaru was a tank! :-) (it's a 2003, has 196,000mi on it last time i looked at the odometer.)
i don't really expect modern BMWs to be long lived so i'll be most happy to reach 150k on my Mini. besides i usually kill my cars well before that... ;-)

I picked up my car 10/2002 - it's about to hit 140K miles over the almost 7 years I've had it. I have no plans to retire the car - although, the Volvo C30 is calling my name. And then there's that Fiat 500 coming here in a couple years...
But other than lusting for a new car, there's nothing that prevents me from my 120-mile (round trip) commute in the MINI.
Relax and drive. If something breaks, fix it. And enjoy the car...

My commute is 500 miles a week, which I have been doing for 3 month now. I didn't notice any difference in the car's performance since I started on this new commute 3 months ago.
Since the coopers engine and manual getrag transmission have a reliable record I don't worry too much about reliability issues on major components.
