When you go to get it checked up on, just make sure the fluids are changed when they need to be, other than that, yea it may just outlast you haha

the longest automatic BMW transmission i’ve met was a 1989 735 at 210,000 miles, but i don’t know but one owner of a 740. But just treat it with love and you’ll be fine.

All depends on how you drive the car. German engineering at its finest with the BMW 7 series, as long as you dont hot rod that V8 it should last a long time just check things like oil and transmission fluid and it should be around for a while.
