I'm sure many will disagree with this choice but my 2004 BMW 325i manual trans is a freak of nature. It's got 234,000 miles and has never let me down and has never had a check engine light. I've had a couple SES lights (service engine soon), one for pre cat O2 sensors and a new one for something emissions related which I'm now looking into. Every single light bulb on/in the car is original and still works.
I've been pro active with the cooling system which for BMWs are a known weak spot. Otherwise a few small niggly issues. It's enjoyable to drive (wonderful steering feel) and easy to work on and service. I'm the original owner and I think one of the key things to longevity is to keep it away from the dealer service department.
At around 200K I had it in to the dealer for the Takata airbags. They commented on what nice shape it was in for such high mileage. They asked who had been servicing it (because it wasn't in their computer system). I said "me".
