[touringsport]

if it is that, i'll have to put back the 7000 pieces of trim i've had out the inside

[Dipesh]

My Cabs just ticked over 110k

[e30bmlover]

my shell has covered 115,000 miles...... she loves it

[delae30]

236,660 holy miles.

[Blitz]

I'm guessing they still drive like new?

[StuMc316is]

My 318is has 330,000 miles on the chassis. It has a 3.0L M50 with about 80k miles now. Had the M42 until about 250,000 until it was removed to drop in the 6.

Most parts have been replaced at one point or another, but the trailing arm bushings still have 330,000 miles....time to swap them out!

There are other cars in the states with 400,000+ miles, mostly E28's and M20 E30's.

[Careanla]

Some shockingly high mileage cars out there...!!

Just hope my M20 lasts this long

[e30mtech]

i,m at 165,000 on my 1.6 m40 and it definatly starting to show with the engine

[HairyScreech]

the "tight" feeling is lost in things people dont consider replacing. things like reseting the preload on the steering rack pinion, the uj of the rack, the front top mounts, sub frame and trailing arm bushes, ball joints ont he wish bones, adjusting the door hinges and lock strikers, replacing the pedal bushes and the old worn throttle cable etc.

On the steering pinion we just replace the rubber donut with aluminum. Along with stiff control-arm bushings there is no slop in the steering.

Well boys let me give you somthing to look forward to


this was on the shell it had a m30 swaped in with over 300,000 miles and no rebuild.
Sadly this milage will never go any higher as it was rear ended a few years back
I had taken it cross the US a few times and up and dowm the main cost line just for fun

my other e30 (in sig) has 138,000 miles.

[gooner1]

97332 on my 86 325i cab, just about run in.

[pnd]

MINES done 90k(2.5) genuine and still feels tight as people have said it is very different from the feel of most e30's by now hence why good cars should command a significant premium price wise. however mileage is not the only reason these cars tend to feel knackered a lot's down to abuse and lack of maintenance and remember a good percentage of e30's aren't showing their true mileage anyway.

[Barnz]

My 325 is on 164600 and still going strong, well apart from needing new injector seals which went pfhutt last week. Rest of car is stonking though, considering it was £230!

Wow, so this car had done 300k on the original engine, and has now done 200k on the m30? Plus what mileage was already on the m30!?

[bodger]

mines got 104 000 had it for 8 months and still not driven it yet

[Daddycoolest]

My E30 got to 129,000 in november, then the head went and cracked grrrrr, She's nearly back on the road now though, when i get time to finish her off & after spendin all this dosh on her she had better get to at least 240,000 before she needs anything else lol.



Rear wheel drivers do it with their arse hangin out!

[Frenchy]

Good point there from Hairy Screech about the bits we miss and often simple, mine has done 99K original and has been well maintained by a good specialist.

Wish me birds punani was as tight !
