I think it's somewhere between 80-120k. Which happens to be around the time when more of the typical things need R&R. If the car has been good to that point, it's fair to say it will likely make it to 150-180k. Beyond that, unless you are really committed to the car, it's "run it into the ground" mode.

The guy at work with the '02-'03 E46 xi wagon is past 250k miles now. He still drives it to work everyday. He replaces what breaks as it happens, but I'm sure non essential features don't get fixed if they die (sunroof, rear windows, A/C, speakers, burned out pixels, etc.).
