Juha Bäckmand has finally done it – his beloved E39 BMW 5 Series has officially crossed the one-million-kilometer (621,371 miles) mark. While BMWs aren’t typically known for bulletproof reliability, especially as they rack up the years and mileage, Bäckmand and his well-used – and well-maintained – 5 Series prove otherwise. His car stands as a shining example that, with proper care and attention, even a three-decade-old Bavarian sedan can outlast the most famously durable Toyotas.
