Anything M30 powered will outlast your children if you do the routine maintenance. Why E28's are so good is because there are not that old to become rusty (E12's are) and also they are not that new to have too much electronic nonsense. My father's original E28 535i is still running strong. Last time i checked it had 280,000 kms on the clock. Original headgasket, original bottom end, original timing chain, on the 3rd clutch but otherwise original transmission etc... The only part changed recently that i'm aware of is the rear subframe bushings (it was a b*tch) which i changed with poly bushings.
