You'll also have to be prepared to replace suspension parts such as bushings, control arms, tie rods, strut mounts and the whole shebang. Oh yeah, maybe even the cooling system - radiator end tanks, water pump w/metal impeller, thermostat etc. Mileage is not the issue here. Age is. BMWs are all about preventative maintenance.
The car will be 5, moving on to 6 years old. By this time, the top will slowly develop leaks and/or tears. You will eventually have to replace it or fix it, or WHY. And if you want to take this up the mountain...keep the Legacy. So much better in terms of reliability, functionality, and practicality.
