5-Series BMW - any high mileage users here?

Looking to get out of track events with my 85. This will entail sale of the Carrera, trailer, and Touareg tow vehicle.

Looking to get into a 5 Series and keep it forever. (no joke)

Anyone have any good experiences with buying an off-lease, certified, and putting 100,000 (or more) miles on it? What maintenance should I expect?

Which engine should I be looking for. Wife and I will be using it for vacations and road trips up and down the east coast Florida to Maine. I know that any of the powertrains will be 'adequate', but which is the preferred?

Thanks
