Hi Ken,
As I understand it, at least you don't have to worry about a timing
belt. I suspect yours has a chain.
I've got a more unique situation with my 2007 Volvo V70T. Shortly after
buying it, a combination of advancing age and health concerns curtailed
our traveling. It turned over *8000* miles last week. So, on my next
dealer visit, some time next year, I'm faced with age-related items.
I've got to replace the original tires, tire-pressure sensors, etc,
along with the usual once a year oil change and servicing. The sensors
are powered by batteries inside each tire, with a life expectancy of 10
years. I expect that my timing belt should also be changed after the
recommended 10 year life.
Alas, such is the care and feeding of our mechanical pets............

Speaking of the BMW, I've got to replace the water pump, belt and
power steering tank. Have all the parts ordered and will do it myself.
First "major" repair to this thing, like ever. 2004 with 165k miles.
Better get rid of it, I guess. (The original battery lasted 12 years).
