How long do BMWs last?

I need a fancy car that can last for a long time. I’ve only heard good things about BMWs, but I don’t really know any specifics. For how long do BMWs typically last?

BMW
s are the perfect car for immersing yourself in the driving experience while you’re on the road. Plus, they’re built to last! A BMW will typically last for up to 200,000 miles when you take good care of it.
Of course, you can prolong your BMW’s life by taking extra care to keep up with as many aspects of
car maintenance
as possible. You can also ensure the BMW stays in top shape for longer by simply driving it less.
The average American drives about 15,000 miles each year, so a BMW should last about 10 to 15 years. But if you cut down on your driving time, or even split your driving needs between two vehicles, you may be able to dramatically extend your BMW’s time on the road.
But the best way to ensure your BMW is safe for years to come is to keep it safe with a strong car insurance policy. Luckily, the
