With the new Bangle styling that may not be happening too often. Having a new car every 3 years might be nice, but having the same car year after year, seeing it hit 120,000 miles, 150,000 miles, 250,000 miles... now that's something to be proud of. My E30 325iX had 157,000 miles on it, and my E46 330i has 119,000 miles on it. The E46 is still going very strong -- a few days ago I raced a new VW Golf to a stoplight. He was shocked to hear he had been beaten, albeit barely, by a car with TEN times the mileage.
