mind you, dealer found metal shavings in the diff of my 340 which had next to no miles, so these cars aren't exactly built to last 25 years but i these are the last pure ICE cars and i want them in my garage!
... to F90 or not to F90 ...

They are built to last if maintained. Here in Germany, most of the BMWs I see on the road are 15-20 years old. People here keep expensive items for a long time.
It is also cheaper to repair them here, ofc, so that helps.
That said, the N63 will never be a reliable engine, no matter how many folks want to claim it. The hot-v might be good for efficiency in various respects, but it certainly isn't good for daily-driver cars that need to start on a regular basis.
