2007 coupe here with 67k miles. Outside of consumables (tires, brakes) and adhering to to the preventative maintenance schedule, I haven't touched it. I drive 80 miles a day to work (no snow) and autocross it in summer months.
Same story with the e46 I had before this one. Outside of a camshaft position sensor ($95 online) and a leaking valve cover gasket ($70) it was problem free. I considered both of those issues acceptable and by fixing them myself I saved several hundred dollars. The internet is a wonderful resource of DIY's from folks who have been down the path before for just about any repair you can think of.
