This. People make it seem as if the typical car falls apart at 100k.
A car falling apart and a poorly maintained car are two different things. Dampers at 100k are tired and worn. Ever since the E36, the rule of thumb was 80-100k for a cooling system refresh. Bushings don't last forever.

Saying a 100k mile car is fine is foolish. It may or may not be. Maintenance needs to be planned for.

Two of my three M cars are over 100k so I'm no stranger to the "100k mile mental barrier"
