I agree with Aladdin, it sounds like you have taken good care of your Bimmer over the years, and there is so much that could be the problem.
But without more information, I suggest taking your car to a good local BMW mechanic that you can trust with your best interest at hand: saving you $$$ without reducing the quality, when repairing your Bimmer.
I wish you the best,
