Me, too. But we are the exception. 120,000 miles in 15 years. 8,000 miles per year. That also makes it easier to keep a car longterm.

I'm sure that's part of it (hard economic times) but I also read that modern cars are a lot more reliable than in the past.
It just seems to me like 3 series sales should be going up, not down. Hard to believe it's all just due to inventory issues. |
92,000 is fairly low for a 2004 model. It was low mileage when you bought it. Looks like you've done a little over 11k per year.
Did you see my post about X3 series sales this year v last year. F30 sales have barely begun.
