My daily is my new-to-me '09 328i touring, and has been my '07 touring for the last 7 years.
Truck, motorcycle, samurai, polaris ranger and TT roadster all take turns when the weather or situation is right.

One of my friends put in new turbos this past spring, something with the timing/valves in August, and a piston cracked last week. All at about 70K miles on an R54
