-Window regulators every 30k ($80 each of i you DIY)
-New cooling system (theromostat, radiator, water pump, hoses) at 60k- as preventive maint (Don't know price--if you DIY, i'd guess around maybe $300).
-New brakes every 30k (About $300 in parts for all 4 if you DIY)

At 80K + on my '02 330i:
- No control arm problems yet
- No window regulator problems yet
- Water pump and thermostat replaced
Guess I'm just lucky.
