You're right, shocks are considered items which need to be replaced eventually. Not valve seals etc. My FJ is at 125k miles. First Jap vehicle I ever bought. The most reliable to date.
I wouldn't touch any BMW V8 if it was given to me for free, based only on what I've read on the BMW sites. MB Bluetec is a close 2nd. I've just recently removed all the DEF/DPF/EGR crap off it, at least now I have hope that it'll last me awhile.
